    An escape from mainstream Hollywood

    Avon shows an excellent variety of independent and foreign films. The location on Thayer Street is very close to local restaurants and stores... you will just have to park off-street somewhere and walk over. The seats are comfortable and…

    Great Theater on Thayer St.

    This gem sparkles on Thayer St. A true escape during Wintersession Blues in snowwy Prov. They show great artsy flicks and watch out for their special midnight showings! Once they showed "Reservoir Dogs."

    A one of a kind city treasure

    An old time feel, complete with red velvet seats (albeit a tad uncomfortable) and a pretty front lobby, where the ticket seller will surely provide you with a crisp two dollar bill as change. The movies shown here are first run and not…

    A staple in the city

    This theater has been a staple on the Eastside of Providence. Showing lots of limited run and indie films. Prices aren't too bad, but be prepared to have a struggle to find some parking. I spent many nights in my teen years here watching…

    Tiny seats, great movies

    One of two truly great theaters in Providence, the other being the Cable Car. The seats are exceptionally cramped... evidently the owner believes his customers to be mainly sardines... but the movies you see there are worth the strange…

    Small Movie Theater

    This quaint old theater showcases mostly international and independent films. A few popular movies were Maria Full of Grace, The Sea Inside, and Lost in Translations. Tickets can be bought in bundles of “six” for a bargain. Films are…

    local, independent theatre on thayer

    The Avon is another one of the great local theatres in Providence. It's old and it retains this feel with the intros played before the film. It's located conveniently on Thayer near the Brown campus. Unfortunately Thayer is turning…

    historical theater, good movie selection

    Avon usually has a good selection of older movies. It has an old feel to it, as it was around since the first half of the 20th century. There is not that much to choose from at a given time, but they will eventually play something you…
