Opened in 1913, the Apollo Theater in Oberlin is a local tradition. It shows relatively recent movies for $3 ($2 on Tuesdays and Thursdays). It is the only theater that I know of in the area with both a marquee out front and a curtain that they actually open and close between movies.
Closed in 2011 for renovations which are due to be completed in summer of 2012.

This is a 2009 night photo.
Unfortunatly, the Apollo was recently ‘renovated’. They stripped away everything that made it special and unique. Now it looks just like any other modern theater inside. It’s really sad…
Thee Vitrolite exterior, though, has been cleaned and restored: View link
What’s going on with this theater? I drove by recently on the way home to visit my family and the marquee was gone and it appeared closed but had some sort of construction going on. Is it being remodeled? I was afraid it had closed and was being turned into something else. I used to go there a lot when I was home from college. Was the only theater for many miles around that booked foreign films…….
The Apollo is closed for renovation and is expected to re-open in the summer of 2012.
Oh. That’s good news. I have fond memories of going there years ago…….
