In late 1992, the County Theater was leased by Closely Watched Films, a local film society that had been showing art films in Doylestown since 1982. The theater reopened on February 5, 1993 as a non-profit community-based project with the screening of Enchanted April. Success was immediate and overwhelming. The community responded financially and with volunteer work sessions. The building was cleaned, painted, and pampered by its new family of supporters.
