Avalon Theatre

Avalon Theatre is a theater building in downtown Easton featuring Art Deco design with a proscenium stage and domed ceiling. The curved ceiling design contributes to excellent sound quality throughout the space, allowing music and speech to travel clearly to all areas.

The building opened in 1921 as a cinema house serving the community as a movie theater. In 1934, the Schine Chain Theatres company acquired the property and redesigned it with distinct Art Deco features, establishing the appearance it retains today.

The venue serves as a gathering place where the community comes together for concerts, theatrical productions, and film screenings throughout the year. These events range from local talent showcases to professional performances that shape the cultural life of the city.

The theater is located on East Dover Street in the city center and is easy to access and locate. Inside, comfortable seating throughout the space provides clear views of the stage from any position, and a bar service offers refreshments.

The theater hosted world premiere screenings of films in its early years, including a production featuring actor Gary Cooper. These major film premieres made it an important venue for the film industry at that time.
