Cape Cinema — Local services in Dennis

An older theater, there is charm, nostalgia and amazing art within these walls. The soaring ceiling within the auditorium was phenomenal; do tilt your head back and enjoy! And, it was nice wide isles, too, when walking in.

I felt like I had slipped back to my childhood as we sat together, munching popcorn made and covered with real butter. The owner gave us our tickets and made sure we remembered that fact, too, as we entered. And, goodness, it was delicious!

While the building is vintage, the sound most certainly is not, updated enough to keep me immersed in a soul-filled movie and I forgot my reality as I fully engaged in the scene before me. It was nice, Motown and gospel sounds in the movie Summer of Soul, a documentary-style movie, not at all what I expected. And, it played very nicely in the theater.

In fact, it was the perfect venue for the movie!

So, if looking for a relaxed, yesteryear experience and a night out with that special someone, I highly suggest this cinema. It was so worth it. And, we did it July 4th, 2021, coming out to big bursts of blooming displays of fireworks. Perfect!

Rockwell Kent and _ (I can't remember her name) painted a magical mural on the entire ceiling which is dome shaped, and instead of theater seats there are armchairs arranged in rows. The decor in the entrance to the theater reflects it's history. They hold special events at the theater that involve a personal appearance by a movie's director, or someone featured in a film, for a question and answer period or a discussion. We are most fortunate on Cape Cod to have this gem...

Very unhappy with the new way of showing schedules on line instead with handouts as reference at theatre. It is also extremely time-consuming if not impossible to make a reservation and have ticket printed at home. It seems that we are encouraged to buy costly insurance to cover the cost of buying a ticket - which is already more than regular price at door. The convenience of being able to have a ticket in hand is lost when one spends too much time trying to accomplish it...
