History of Theater: Opened in 1913, the Apollo Theatre in Oberlin is a local tradition. It is the only theatre that I know of in the area with both a marquee out front and a curtain that they actually open and close between movies.
The 850-seat single screen theatre closed in 2011 for renovations which were completed in September of 2012. It now has two auditoriums. The largest auditorium 1 has 411-seats and is equipped with DCP and 35mm reel to reel film projection. The smaller 62-seat auditorium 2 is equipped with DCP only.
