The ShowRoom Cinema

I have always loved going to the movies. When I smell popcorn I think of being in a theater. I am 74 years old and have felt that way since I was a kid. I discovered The ShowRoom several months ago and have been there many times. This is not your ordinary movie house - I can truthfully say it is extraordinary. There are three theaters - one seats about 75 people and the other two seat about 16. The films shown range from your conventional big box office hits like "The Post" to a variety of independent films and documentaries. I enjoyed films at the SR that never made it to the "big houses" - such as "Loving Vincent". Another great feature of this theater are the folks who run the place - always very kind, helpful and eager to please. As an example, I had difficulty with the Asbury Park parking meters. I used several quarters but the time was not registering properly. When we arrived at the front desk I explained my situation to one of the staff - Nancy - such a wonderful person. She promised she would look into the meter problem as my wife & I proceeded into the theater to secure our seats. A few minutes later Nancy came in, sat beside me and told me she contacted the Asbury Park Parking Authority, explained what had happened to me and told me it was corrected and I was given time for all the quarters I put in the Pay Station. Where else would you find that level of care? No where. Extra-ordinary.

Love this theater. If there is a movie that you want to see but can't find it at the bigger theaters, good chance it is here. Great location and great staff.

Love the Showroom! The people there are wonderful, tickets and concessions are affordable, and the variety of films they show makes it well worth the trip. You have to pay for street parking near the theater, but I don't mind the short walk from free parking. Grab a snack from local food shops before your movie!

It's a joy to screen a film here - good ticket prices, comfy seats, clean rooms and fresh locally made snacks. And, it's privately owned.

Great place for independent films and good documentaries. Enjoy the Oscar nominated shorts and Deconstructing Beatles series, among others. Glad to have this place around.
