(KFVS) - Dexter Twin Cinema has been operating for more than 40 years and now the owners are asking for the communityâs help to keep its doors open. âWe were hesitant at first, we really didnât want to do that,â said owner Chris Costin. Owners Chris Costin and Alysa Lewis started a GoFundMe Tuesday in hopes the community will donate to keep the theater open. âOur sales are down about 90 percent compared to what would be normal, so itâs hard to keep a staff at that point,â Costin said.
