Apollo Theatre, Movie theater in Oberlin, United States
The Apollo Theatre is a movie house in Oberlin with two screening spaces: a main auditorium that seats around 400 visitors and a smaller supplementary room for intimate viewings. Both spaces support different types of film presentation, from full-length feature films to student work and independent productions.
The movie house was established in 1913 as an entertainment venue in downtown Oberlin and has remained part of the town's cultural fabric ever since. Major renovation work in 2011 updated its equipment and brought the facility into the modern era.
The theater serves as a teaching space where students engage with film and media coursework in an active cinema setting. It connects the local community to the college through public screenings and educational events that bring people together around cinema.
Both screening spaces are located in the same building along the downtown street, making it easy to find and straightforward to visit. Arriving a bit early helps you get comfortable with the layout and choose your preferred seating.
The main auditorium keeps the traditional single-screen layout while using modern projection equipment for contemporary image quality. This blend of classic cinema design and current technology creates a distinctly authentic movie-watching experience.
