Pines Theater, Historical movie theater in downtown Lufkin, United States.
Pines Theater is a 459-seat venue located on First Street in downtown Lufkin, featuring streamlined Moderne architectural details from the 1920s era. The interior includes a balcony level and maintains its original character through careful restoration work.
The building opened as a movie house in 1925 and screened silent films for its early audiences. Decades later it changed purposes several times before local efforts transformed it back into a cultural gathering place.
The venue now hosts a variety of live performances through partnerships with local arts organizations. Visitors can experience different types of shows throughout the year that draw people from the surrounding area.
The venue sits downtown at 113 South First Street, making it easy to locate in Lufkin's center. Visitors heading to the balcony seating need to be prepared for stairs.
The building earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, and the city's purchase in 2007 led to major restoration work. This revitalization brought the theater back to active use as an entertainment venue.
