Awesome local theater that shows movies I love. Even small films that are hard to find elsewhere. My only problem is that the theater is very broken in. Some of the seats are a little busted up and its not always the cleanest place, but all of this is worth it for the experience and the great people who work there.

Great local theater with interesting films and great community involvement. Price varies from show to show but it is generally very reasonable. It has a beautiful interior and good audio.

Quality movie experience. Picture and sound have been upgraded over the years, and the films are usually pretty interesting. Great local historic resource for Carlisle.

This old theater is beautiful inside, and the decor and architecture add to its vintage appeal. The movies shown here are not first-run movies, but more of a theatrical and artistic appeal (as in arthouse films). There are also classic and educational movies shown as well. Even with 900 seats, it is hard to find a bad one! The theater is run as a non-profit, but that does not mean it doesnt need your patronage. Donations are greatly appreciated. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars to this review is the fact that the screen is not big enough. I guess big screen showings have spoiled me, but the atmosphere here is still enjoyable. Do an internet search for the current movie listings at this theater and treat yourself to a fun night out!

10 art house movies and a free popcorn for $60. You can go 10 times or go to one movie with 9 guests, never expires. Best deal in town! Sihn up for the weekly email showing upcoming shows, including musical groups and plays, as well as films. Traditional seats but plenty of leg room

Great venue. Really well-maintained all around; tasteful and not absurdly ornate decorations. The acoustics were great, at least for the show that I attended. Seating was arranged well, I could see everything in spite of a really tall person sitting in front of me.

Charming theater in downtown Carlisle with great film choices and ample seating with good views. The concessions are inexpensive and the volunteers are always kind and helpful. This theater accepts MoviePasses and the line can be long to purchase tickets, so its advisable to arrive early.
