Biography
The O'Brien Theatre opened on June 25, 1930 to rave reviews about its superior sound system and beautiful, ornate interior.
In 1995, the balcony became a separate theatre, adding to the selection of film product available to customers. Additional renovations and equipment upgrades continue to the present.
Today, in addition to popular current film, the theatre offers a series of art, independent and foreign films, and Met operas. A large theatre pipe organ, installed 1995-present, thrills audiences with periodic concerts and movie prelude music. (See OVTOS). There are occasional live performances.
The O'Brien Theatre maintains its grand presence on Raglan Street South, a testament to excellent design and construction of earlier times blended with modern technology. It remains an important centre of entertainment for the community.
