Don't expect stadium seating, 3-D and surround sound. This is an old time grand theater that has an organ that rises from beneath the stage. Go for the movies. They run the indie films that don't run at the major cinemas. Parking isn't too bad. there is a public parking lot 1/2 block away and street parking if you are...

If you are staying in downtown Tampa, don't miss it. Even if the movie doesn't appeal to you, it's worth the price of admission to see the this gem.

My fiance and I went to the Tampa Theatre's Academy Awards Party. It was a little cheesy, but so much fun! The Theatre is beautiful! I'm actually having my bridal portraits taken there in the fall.

Unique and ornate old Historical Theatre!

Nothing will prepare you for what is inside. The minute you walk into the theater you don't know where to look or what to look at. Every corner of this theater is decorated. This is a place for lovers of historic architecture. A real treat for anyone to see. Nothing like it in Tampa.

For those too young to remember the beautiful movie theaters of the 30's, 40's and 50's, this is your chance to have the experience. Before the performance the huge organ rises to the stage and you are entertained with movie and old time musical favorites. Coffee, soft drinks, wine, candy and, of course, pop corn are available. The beauty of...

Going to this theatre is an experience. Of course, you need to understand that the flicks playing here tend towards artsy, Sundance film festival type genres. I went and say a modern adaptation of a Shakespeare play here not long ago and if you're into Shakespeare it was great. Some of my companions were slightly less enthused by the sonnet...

One of Tampa's finest historical landmarks offering the best year round program of movies, music, and fun. Really, you have to go there to get the full feeling of the place. Don't miss it on your visit to Tampa. No doubt, there will be some nationwide act playing or an indie movie. Don't miss!
