They show a lot of classics, usually focusing on a particular director's work such as Orson Welles or a film movement. You can find the schedule here: http://www.csun.edu/mike-curb-arts-media-communication/cinema-television-arts/thursday-nights-cinematheque-fall-calendar The theater is small, but the projection quality and sound are good. The Armer Theater is located on the CSUN campus in Manzanita Hall. Highly recommended for any Valley-dwelling cinephiles!

That was fine, we let the next person go. But when it was our turn for the next register, Bettie, the employee assisting us was even more unfriendly and annoyed. Maybe it was just an off day for them. We were just deciding what to order and were being friendly so I can only assume they were just having a bad day. Unfortunately that did set a low mood for us. Simple courtesy would've went along way instead of snarky answers to our questions. When we received our order Bettie seemed a little more relaxed which I appreciated. The nachos we ordered actually come with cheese straight from the spout and not prepackaged. The only thing is, now there is an extra charge for additional boxes. Thats ok, everything is more expensive. i get it. Now for the real deal. Onto the better experience. Inside the theater, there were recliner seats with trays and were very clean and maintained. Sound in theater was good and the screen was vibrant. Our actual movie watching experience was enjoyable, and even with the snack line experience, it was not too bad. Thank you!

Greetings to all film makers, cinema enthusiasts, and TV viewers:…read more I attended Panavision's Panafest in October 2007 which was very educational and very enlightening regarding learning how to operate the new 2008 film cameras, sound, and editing formats. While attending Panafest, Panavision showed several fim and video sequences where each cinematic viewer made individual determinations whether the film clip shot was either film or video footage. Pertaining to non-camera industry people: The movie making process is amping up to the highest levels of cinematic productions. What does this mean to cinematic movie attendees and TV viewers? The visual images shown on-screen will be more crisp, clean, and the colors far more vivid tham previous films exhibited. So, get ready to view the new 2008 movies shown at your local cinema theaters and also, please notice the difference with TV shows' productions values soar which will definitely show more impact on-screen. BTW: Panavision's has a film retail store and a retail coffee shop inside where you may buy some coffee, snacks, film production T-shirts, jackets, and other film memorabilia. Have fun learning about film making at Panavision . . . I am confident Panavision will change your views of the way you see film and TV productions in the future. Please call Panavision one month in advance to schedule a tour of the studio.

Well Definite Media took care of us and actually gave us a discount just to be nice! My son & I watched Polar Express from my car together, bringing along all our favorite fast food munchies. But his favorite part was when D.M. staff arrived with free hot chocolate during the hot coco scene! He thought we were really in the movie!

Very happy to find this intimate location to lessen to some great holiday rat pack tunes…read more The theatre only holds about 50 guests. They have some snacks, drinks, beer, and wine on the patio before and at intermission. Looking forward to attending other shows in the future.

What a great little theatre! In all the time I've lived in the West Valley, I had no idea it…read moreexisted! Thanks to Fever, we heard about the Rat Pack Holiday Tribute show, which is right up our alley, so we got some tickets. It was a challenge to find out about the theatre and the difference between a regular ticket and a VIP ticket. We were told VIP included parking (we just parked for free on the street), a free glass of wine (not a bad wine, served in a plastic cup with a straw), and guaranteed front row seating (no one seated us, but we did sit in the front). Super tiny, only about 40-50 people, so it's an intimate show. It also got pretty warm in there, so dress in layers and be prepared for that! Out on the deck/patio, they have tables chairs for before and during intermission (though it was chilly outside that night). This is also where they have concessions (water, beer, wine and a few snacks like cookies, candy, etc). The entire staff was very kind and the show was great. I also got to pet one of their ponies on our way back out to the car. We joined their email list and, depending on the show, we are likely to make our way back to the Big Oak Little Theatre!

I love that you get a real sense…read moreof community here and everyone I have interacted with, even on a minor level, has been so kind. The one thing is, you gotta get here EARLY. Like before 9am, before people start heading out. I really appreciate when companies like Porsche sponsor the day and bring out donuts for everyone. Such a nice touch! You'll see all kinds of cars here from classic muscle cars to modern day sports cars. If you are looking to buy, a lot of people are also selling. Lots of folks often pop up a chair by their car and are willing to answer any questions you have about it. It's a nice way to spend the morning! My ONE thing (not that the organizers can do anything about it I think?) is that I wish so badly a coffee cart would pop up here. Sometimes there is a food truck, but not a dedicated coffee biz. It's so early and I see so many people walking around with a Starbucks in hand, it's such a missed opportunity!

### 2024 review 14/100###…read more First time on CSUN campus for a Helix Channel Surfers Concert at Plaza del Sol. It's been renovated, from what we heard. Parking structure a couple blocks away, pay at the machine before we made our way to the hall. Pre-reception was held in the lobby area with a basic bar, the usual snacks and drinks available for purchase: wine and beer, hot cocoa, coffee. Concert hall was great, with comfy chairs and nice acoustics.

The theater was much larger on the inside than I thought it would be. I got to watch the CSUN…read moreorchestra perform, and the acoustics were great. During the first half the lighting seemed a little too bright and it almost washed out the players, but they lowered the level during the second half. The seats were almost too comfortable. I was super tired and had a hard time not falling asleep, but that's not the venue's fault, that was my fault. The guys at the ticket booth were really fast and efficient. I liked how everyone was very formal and proper. It was an orchestra performance, so all of the players were wearing tuxes and black dresses. Even all the ushers and people collecting tickets were dressed very clean. My favorite person there was the double bass player that had an afro. He looked so clean with a fro and a tux. During the intermission, it's really nice to be able to walk just outside the theater and grab a snack at the Mercantile Exchange. There is no food allowed in the theater by the way, but that's expected. This is a great theater. I'm sure it isn't as jaw-dropping as the Valley Performing Arts Theater, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Plaza del Sol Theater. I am a trumpet player at CSUN and I'm looking forward to playing here next month! I will definitely come here again to hear other ensembles perform.
