Opened in 1913, the Apollo Theatre in Oberlin is a local tradition. It is the only theatre that I know of in the area with both a marquee out front and a curtain that they actually open and close between movies.
The 850-seat single screen theatre closed in 2011 for renovations which were completed in September of 2012. It now has two auditoriums. The largest auditorium 1 has 411-seats and is equipped with DCP and 35mm reel to reel film projection. The smaller 62-seat auditorium 2 is equipped with DCP only.

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…….
