The Star is up for auction after being recently renovated and reinvigorated my wife and I have decided to sell to spend more time with our family.

Had a chance to visit this Theatere over vacation & spoke to the new owner, he has great plans for the building. The theater looks great inside & out . Popcorn is made in a vintage Manley popcorn machine. I highly recommend a visit .https://startheatrewv.com/

The Star theatre has just converted to digital. They’ve also repainted throughout and installed a new screen. Ticket prices went up to help pay for this (adults now cost $4.50 – still very reasonable).
Prices as of 2012: Adults – $3.75 and children – $3.25.
The Star is on the WV Historic Theaters Trail.
Correct history: Movies shown at the Star since 1928. Structure originally built in 1916 as a car storage garage. Known as the Berkeley Theater, it was leased by the Alpine chain in 1948. Current decor dates to that period. Became the Lynn Theatre in early 60s until current owners opened the Star in 1977.
The New York Times Escape section, February 15, 2008, in an article about Berkley Springs, has a photo of the Star Theater.
