Admission is only $3 and soft drink and popcorn refills are free.
Possessing the second largest movie screen in the state, measuring an astounding 54 feet by 33 feet, this [|restored gem] is still operating 3 days a week, showing second run movies and providing a venue for visiting musical performers, dance recitals and fund-raising events. Recent events include Stupid Pet Tricks auditions for the David Letterman Show, Junie B. Jones Theatreworks production and the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra Cinemusic presentation of The Joy Luck Club with author Amy Tan.

In the midst of a multi-year renovation by current owners, Roger and Kathy Aleshire, much of the interior has been restored to its previous grandeur. A new three story, six hundred pound dark maroon curtain has been installed. The tin ceiling and lightbulbs of the outside marquee has been replaced though the paint still needs to refreshed.

The entryway lobby's floor is comprised with the original Terrazzo tiles. The soaring ceiling is decorated with 38 hand-carved sculptures.
