Business Spotlight: Old Greenbelt Theatre

The Old Greenbelt Theatre is a one-screen movie theatre located in the heart of Old Greenbelt, showing contemporary films in addition to offering a schedule of diverse and community-based film programming, with new digital projection and 35mm reel-to-reel capabilities. Completed in 1938, the Old Greenbelt Theatre is an iconic building here in Greenbelt, a federally planned New-Deal-era community. The core of Old Greenbelt was declared a National Historic District in 1997, with the Theatre a prominent reminder of a bygone era of cinema.

Check out what Executive Director, Caitlin McGrath, has to say about the theatre's role in the Greenbelt community. Although the main theatre screen is temporarily closed for HVAC renovations, you can still check out a film or two in the Pop-up space next door!
