The Grand Cinema, Tacoma’s only indie arthouse cinema, turns 20 with a celebration of film and people. | The News Tribune

It’s 5 p.m. on a Friday, and Lisa Fruichantie is just beginning her shift at The Grand Cinema in Tacoma. As she opens the door marked “Employees Only,” the lobby is starting to fill up. House manager Dan Long is selling tickets, four volunteers load popcorn tubs. Katy Evans, assistant executive director, chats up members at the first-ever Happy Hour, drink in hand. Fruichantie heads up the stairs to the projection room, where a fellow projectionist is making a movie trailer.
