This old theater has three screens for your viewing pleasure. For a more enjoyable experience, sit back and relax with popcorn and a soda from the refreshment stand. Tickets are invitingly cheap and reasonably priced accordingly for adults, seniors and children under 12. For film times and further information please call or see their website.
