We lost our resident historian, tour guide, manager & friend in 2020. She has been a staple at the theater for more than a decade. We miss our Peggy with her ever present smile.
THE PLAZA Cinema was certified as THE OLDEST OPERATING PURPOSE BUILT CINEMA IN THE WORLD in 2018 !
That's right, since 1907 the Plaza Cinema has been playing (or projecting) motion pictures. Just imagine 100 years ago, a person kind of like you (would be very old now) was sitting in this same theater, watching a motion picture on the big screen! That's magical, that's why we love it here, and that's why we want you to love it too. Be our guest at the Plaza Cinema and discover the historical magic of movies, watch a new release, or watch a film from the past–you could even do all three.Our Movie Memorabilia Museum has new and exciting exhibits all the time–from Elvis's hair to real costumes worn in big motion pictures! Trust me, it's cool.
