The Massena Arts and Theater Association (MATA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the historic Schine Theater in Massena, NY. Through the presentation of theatrical, film, and cultural events, MATA aims to foster a deeper appreciation for the performing arts in the greater Massena area, while also revitalizing the downtown district.
With a rich history dating back to its construction in 1926, the Schine Theater played a pivotal role in attracting people to the downtown area until its closure in 1995. Now, MATA is working tirelessly to bring this iconic venue back to life, not only as a movie theater but also as a vibrant space for small theatrical productions, musical performances, lectures, and other cultural events. By doing so, MATA hopes to stimulate the creation of new businesses and further enhance the appeal of downtown Massena.
