Plaza Theatre, Movie theater in Atlanta, United States
The Plaza Theatre is a movie theater located in an Art Deco building at the corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue and Highland Avenue in Atlanta. The venue operates two screens and serves as a fixture for film viewing in this neighborhood.
The theater opened in December 1939 and screened 'The Women' starring Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer on its opening night. Since then it has remained a film venue in the city.
The theater shows independent films and international productions that you rarely find in mainstream cinemas. This programming draws a dedicated audience looking for movies beyond the typical Hollywood releases.
Students and seniors can get discounted tickets at the venue. Current showtimes and film schedules are available through the theater's online channels.
Since 2000, the theater has hosted midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show every Friday with live performances. The audience actively participates in these shows, making each screening a shared community event.
