Town Theatre

The Town is located in downtown Highland and is still a very popular venue. Back in the 60’s and 70’s it was the only theater in Northwest Indiana to show art and foreign films. In the late 70’s through the mid 90’s the Town became more of a second run house. Now, happily, the Town shows mostly art and independent films. I recently attended a showing of “The Station Agent” and the theater has lost some of its charm but is still a great place to see a movie. The seats are in dire need of being replaced and there is very little leg room. The intermission with cake and coffee is an ongoing tradition no matter what the film’s running time is. They offer a few types of cake, pastries, and cookies – all fresh and delicious. They also have an admission price lower then the multiplexes with very reasonable concession stand prices as well. Best of all there are no commercials before the movie. The lights go down and the movie starts up immediately. There should be more theaters like the Town.
