I GAVE IT AWAY: Days and Nights at Vinegar Hill Theatre

Entwining the story of Ann Porotti's coming of age as a businesswoman with the town building of Charlottesville, Virginia, I Gave It Away may be one of the books for the ages about the radical changes that have happened since the 1960s in the lives of women. Porotti finds a home for her independent movie theatre in 1973 and then spends thirty years showing over two thousand films while forwarding the renewal of a dying downtown. Along the way she gathers to herself and her children a rich community of friends, lovers, and--finally--a husband that sticks. Porotti believed she had the right and the power to see, to taste, to live, to buy--and to give it away.
