Old Greenbelt Theatre

The Old Greenbelt Theatre is an historic single-screen movie theater built in 1938 and located in the Roosevelt Center within the Greenbelt Historic District of Greenbelt, Maryland. The first film shown at the theater was Little Miss Broadway starring Shirley Temple.[1]

The Theatre was renovated by The City of Greenbelt in 2014-2015. The renovation includes new digital projection equipment, a new 35MM projector for archival screenings, a restored lobby and ticket booth, restroom improvements, and an enhanced concession area[2]

The Friends of Greenbelt Theatre, a nonprofit organization, was awarded a contract by the City of Greenbelt to operate the theater starting May 1, 2015. Seating 363 patrons, the theater is one of the only nonprofit and single-screen movie theaters located in the state of Maryland.[3]
