North Park Theatre

The North Park Theatre is a movie theater in Buffalo that was built in 1920 and features a domed ceiling decorated with murals above the main auditorium. The building holds around 850 seats and underwent a major renovation in 2013.

The theater opened in 1920 as part of Michael Shea's chain of movie houses. After decades of operation, it received a complete restoration in 2013 that brought back many of its original features.

The theater shows a wide mix of films in a neoclassical building that feels welcoming to different types of audiences. You can watch mainstream releases, independent productions, and specialty screenings all in the same space.

The theater is located on Hertel Avenue and is easy to reach on foot. You can buy tickets online or at the box office, and it is helpful to arrive early to explore the building before the screening starts.

In 1998, the theater hosted the world premiere of the film Buffalo '66 with actors Vincent Gallo and Christina Ricci. This event connected the theater directly to the city's film history.
