Originally opened in 1931 as the Avon Theatre with a seating capacity of 600. This small-town cinema is located in east-central Vermont, just west of the Connecticut River valley. It was selected for the premier of the "Simpsons" movie on July 21, 2007, with Simpsons creator Matt Groening in attendance. It was closed on July 9, 2008, due to a fire. In 2009, conversion began to change the theatre from a twin to a triplex.
It re-opened on July 16, 2011.

Please note there is a s on cinema.
Please feel free to stop by anytime.
We are continuing the construction prior to opening and every day brings us closer to a finished theater. (This week we anticipate the outside marque going up.) All 3 theaters are showing and Captain America is starting this Friday. I am personally looking forward to this one.
The large movie hall (the 3D theater) is an experience to have. The seating has been done to give a large amount of leg room (it may have reduced the number of seats slightly but the comfort is unmatched any where (and I’m a long time movie goer.
I encourage everyone to stop by and just say hi, we can show you around.
Have a great day.
The Manager
