Beautiful, old-school theater that feels cozy and comfortable. I saw an Irish band here, and the environment was perfect for a small crowd feel. I definitely suggest stopping in here for a concert or show, it’s a great place!

Saw Lucy Kaplansky. Great show. Nice space. Someday I hope they can get some space on first floor for restrooms so older people dont have to climb stairs for restroom. This is such a fantastic space!!! You can become a member through their website and get discounted tickets.

Mark OConnors Appalachian Christmas Concert was superb! It was a treat to hear this consummate musician in such a lovely intimate venue with its fine acoustics. Thank you to all the people, volunteers especially, that made this singular occasion happen.

This is a fun venue and a blast from the past! Talk about nostalgic with a 20s vibe. We went to a church service and it was perfect for housing everyone. Go check it out. Cheers!

Went to a Meam Girls showing here. Its was really cool. They did a trivia before hand and handed out free tickets. Movie was a classic. Cheaper concessions by a lot. Really cheap night out. Would recommend

Nice place. Needs better accessible restrooms and some updated seating, paint and stage work, but at 97 years old it is a pretty cool place.

Beautiful old theater in the heart of downtown. Its a bit run down but the city has done a decent job of rehabbing it. If youre looking for a megaplex experience this is not the place for you but its perfect for the fun and popular older films it shows every and live events it hosts. Run by the city and staffed by loyal volunteers keeps the prices low enough for a nice family outing.

Anyone that gives this place less than a 5 star is a total loser. This is a Corvallis original, so if you dont like it, you simply dont get it.

The Whiteside is best theatre in Corvallis. They play a lot of older movies and have some of the best concerts in town. I love the staff, who are mostly volunteers btw, and it brings back that feeling of nostalgia. You should defiantly visit!

Funny place, they play older movies, different stuff every day. Right across from the book bin, as well as the dark side theater. Both worth a visit.

The Whiteside Theatre is such a fun place! Its historic ambience is amazing, with a nice selection of old movies and cheap snacks. The only complaint I have is the facility having fairly poor heating/air conditioning. Besides that, this place is wonderful.

Ran strictly by volunteers, all this gorgeous structure is missing is a license to sell alcohol. What a historic experience. Live music here sounds great and the movies are classics. You can even tour once a month.
