Had a wonderful experience at the newly reopened Beach Theatre!
We went on a Thursday evening -- bought tickets in their website, added them to the Wallet app on my phone and presented them at the door, all super easy.
Everyone we met from the moment we walked in were friendly and welcoming. They told us about upcoming events and their new monthly movie pass program, which they're starting in October 2025. Even the popcorn was perfect -- easily the freshest and most flavorful movie popcorn we've had in a long time!
As for the movie experience itself, it was the perfect blend of modern sound and projection with a classic art deco styled cinema theater. The seats are old school, but they're comfortable and clean, and it all feels brand new. It's a smaller screen, but it's just the right size for the space and the feel they're clearly going for.
As a cinephile and a working film critic, seeing a historic neighborhood theater like this brought back to life for a community to enjoy gives me hope for the future of people still wanting to go out to the movies. I'm excited for the future of the Beach Theatre and I'm eager to see more movies and events in the space soon! read more
