FOR THE ARTS
Welcome!
Gray Duck Theater is an independent, locally-owned movie theater committed to bringing a truly local and communal cinema experience to Rochester. We screen indie, foreign, documentary, and classic film in addition to hosting a variety of film events such as Q&As with filmmakers, after-film discussions, movie trivia nights, marathons and binges, non-profit spotlights, and so much more. We also moonlight as a local live music and comedy venue.

LOCAL & DIVERSE
We are inspired by the creative and artisanal products of Southeast Minnesota, and we’ll incorporate them as much as possible, down to the beer, wine, snacks, and artwork. We want to celebrate the things that make this area unique, most especially its wonderful people. Our aim is to create a loving and vibrant film culture in Rochester that supports, welcomes, and respectfully interacts with everyone. This theater is for you.

THANKS OUR INDIE GOGO BACKERS!
Thanks to all of us who joined in backing us as we move toward opening in Fall 2018! Gray Duck's Indie GoGo was a real success thanks to each and every one of you! Your support helped finance some of the one-time expenses of starting a theater, like the projector, sound system, seats, and licensing fees. We are packaging and shipping out the final round of incredible perks to thank you for that support, and cannot wait to meet each and every one of you!
