Changes are planned for the iconic West Newton Cinema. The owners of the theater want to turn it into a nonprofit center that potentially would support community arts and independent films.
As a step toward this goal, cinema co-owner David Bramante has reached an agreement to sell the theater, located at 1296 Washington St., to the Newton-based Mark Development. According to a statement published on Village 14, the Bramante family will continue to operate the cinema for the next 18 months or so while searching for a new team to take over operations.
