Admittance for music and art is generally free of charge. The cafe is also home to monthly art exhibits showcasing some of Rochester's finest local artists. The cafe is housed in same building as the newer theaters, and presents live music, ranging from jazz to acoustic, five nights a week. The theaters offer popcorn with real butter and treats from the Little Cafe. On December 19, 2011, it was announced that The Little would be merging with WXXI. A large part of the theatre's financial support comes from memberships, grants and donations.
In 1999, The Little was granted 501(c)3 status as a not-for-profit organization under the name of The Little Theatre Film Society, Inc. The remaining four theaters are housed in a complex facing Winthrop Street immediately behind the original theater. By 1996, the Little had grown to a complex of five theaters. In May 1982, William Coppard and John and Pam Blanpied bought the Little in order to refurbish it and bring it back to its former Art Deco glory. These theaters were built in response to the mass merchandising and the construction of huge 'movie palaces', which became popular in the 1920's. The original Little Theatre (Little #1) was the fifth cinema created in a small chain during the "little cinema movement," which was dedicated to showing "art films that appeal to the intelligent and sophisticated" in the 1920's. The Little Theatre (sometimes referred to as The Little Theater), located in the East End, is Rochester's best known (and many say best loved) venue for independent and art house movies, live music and art exhibits.
