Always so sweet and cozy. I do miss having someplace to put my drink when I'm there, but it's a vintage sort of local theater so I'll forgive it that. Recently had an event for a popular movie with triva and a costume contest. They have a stage, and had a mic setup and it was really fun and wholesome, even with a mostly adult audience. The prizes were very thoughtful, and encouraged everyone to enjoy themselves rather than be competitive. Lots of people spilled out to the front walk and were talking to each other.

Projection/screen is one of the best I’ve seen. Employees were sweet, warm, and friendly. I think I will come back to this area just for...
Read moreThis theater has been my first choice since the 1970s (when under previous management). Currently showing first-run films (as well as independent and foreign films co-sponsored with the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance in its CineArt series). It is THE place to enjoy cinema in a very clean, comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Ticket prices are reasonable and the refreshments are numerous and always fresh. The owners are right there as you come in the door, not some distant entities of a chain cinema enterprise, and it is obvious that they care about making your...
