'Sometimes вЂ¦ we weren't sure if it could be saved,' said Sarah Gish, who along with Vaughan was part of the group Friends of River Oaks Theatre. They met every week by Zoom, inundated the mayor's office with emails and calls and held a charity benefit show and other events. In Houston, after the theater closed in March 2021, 'a little army' of supporters banded together.

The cultural and creative sectors were among the hardest hit by the pandemic, with over 10 million jobs lost worldwide in 2020, according to UNESCO's report. While the River Oaks Theatre got a reprieve, other places and groups throughout the world that showcase the arts and culture - a contemporary dance company in Toronto, a popular acting troupe in Madrid - weren't as fortunate.

But the new operator is expected to preserve its Art Deco architecture and what made it offbeat, including midnight movies. The theater, which might reopen by the end of the year, will get various upgrades. Last month, Star Cinema Grill, a Houston-area theater chain, announced it would reopen the River Oaks and keep it 'true to its soul.' It opened in 1939 and for the last 45 years had been an art house theater showcasing independent and foreign cinema.

The closure of movie theaters, museums, concert halls - places of creating and sharing - throughout the world during the pandemic has highlighted the important role arts and culture play as a public good that supports people's well-being during struggle. 'I just don't think it's worth it when you come out the other side, there isn't art, there isn't something to look forward to.' It becomes really easy on your little hierarchy of needs to say no right now, we just need to survive,' Vaughan said.
