The building is absolutely stunning. It feels like you’re stepping back in time as soon as you enter the theatre. The cartoons, sing-along, and organ performance before the show is a rare and fun experience. I could just sit in this theatre for hours admiring how beautiful it is. It is such a great piece of history for this city. They have parking in a lot across the street designated for the theatre visitors, they have plenty of security and the staff is very friendly!
Brittany WolchAwesome historic movie theater. Much like the Saenger theaters, very ornate. It has become a Christmas tradition to come watch It’s A Wonderful Life in the old place. Very fun, plus a bar that serves drinks and food.
