CULTURAL DESTINATION WITH LEGENDARY MOVIE MEMORABILIA COLLECTION SET TO OPEN IN 2025

July 07, 2025
CommunityPress ReleaseGeneral News ArticleFun FactsHuman Interest

Collector Terry Dennison is opening an art museum called Just Off Broadway, Inc. in Hastings, Michigan, with a unique collection to inspire, create wonder, and offer a window into the past.
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Terry Dennison owns a collection of fine art, crystal, and movie memorabilia that inspires awe. Dennison’s movie memorabilia collection includes items from legendary films such as White Christmas (1952), starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, One the Town (1949) starring Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, and Easter Parade (1948) starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire.
 
Dennison is a native of Hastings, Michigan, and a former world geography teacher for 31 years whose real passion is Hollywood. While he knows all the big names and has collected memorabilia of them, he also focuses on the lesser-known start, the minor character actors and entertainers many may not recognize including dancer Vera-Ellen, one of Terry’s all-time favorites, Rand Brooks, Jan Clayton, Betty Lynn, and Maria Pavan.
 
The museum’s location is on 220 W. Colfax St in Hastings, but it is set “Just Off Broadway” south of downtown Hastings.
 
“I tell people I’ve been living Just Off Broadway for years,” said Dennison. “So, the name for the museum was meant to be.”
 
Dennison is taking donations for the museum at GoFundMe.com. The donations will go toward operation costs. Donate here: https://gofund.me/16951bc8
 
About Just Off Broadway
