the campus theatre

Special place to watch a movie while in a 1940's art deco movie theater. You can call ahead and reserve a couch! Can't beat a place with fresh popped popcorn with butter.

If you have time, please visit this Campus theater and see a movie, it has been beautifully preserved since the 1940s, the staff is so wonderful, it was truly a joy to visit!

If you want an amazing Art Deco treat go to the Campus Theatre and you will be treated to an amazing experience. The murals are all re-done and the colors are vibrant. I had no problem imagining myself in the roaring 20's and being all dressed to the nines attending a movie here. The place has a feel to it that comes over you when you walk in....like being able to time travel to a simpler place and time.Any lover of the good old times should have this on their bucket list.

A beautifully restored old-fashioned theatre. They charge a bit less than the traditional movie theatres, pour real melted butter on your popcorn, and offer free refills of soda, and I believe popcorn too! Extremely comfortable and if you get there early enough you can snag one of the couches in the back so you can really watch the show in style.

I was there for an event with Rick Guidotti of Positive Exposure. The theatre staff, the setting, and the environment could not be nicer!

If you have the opportunity, stop by the campus theater and take in a movie. The place has been remodeled, restored and redecorated. It is a lovely and unique experience. We even got free admission as the movie had already started.

Great local historical movie theatre. Comfortable seating. Up to date movies. Perfect place for an event.

Restored older theatre with area in back that has couches, tall stools and tables so you can easily snack while watching. Occasional BYOB nights!

Great atmosphere in which to see a movie. It is conveniently located in Lewisburg, PA. You can eat at a variety of restaurants before or after.

I stood outside the theater one night last week( I have lived in Lewisburg for 10 years now) and the marquee was lit up, lighting the street and the bustle of the main street. The town was hoppin"! This little gem of a restored theater owes its existence to Bucknell University. They recently completed a multimillion dollar renovation, updated the sound system and projection and use it for multiple free showings for classes that allow anyone to view. Friday nights they try to give the students an alternative to the party scene and they can get in for free with a student ID. They also run several free showing around the hoidays of classic movies for a canned food doantion.Inside they kept the Art Deco theme and it is beautiful. You can call ahead and reserve the couches/loveseats ahead of time that sit up and ovelook the floor. They have the usual snack fare but at reasonable prices, friendly staff and offer BYOB movie nights. They also have a deal with a fine restaurant across the street named Elizabeths for Dinner and a Movie ticket. If you haven't seen a vibrant, alive downtown in a while, Lewisburg is a real treat. Small town conservative meets liberal University with respect and a little healthy tension. The selection of movies pushes the envelope with avant garde and independent movies and a smattering of first runs and classics. Ticket prices are a bit less than the multiplexes and if you join as a member there are other advantages as well. So glad to have it!

A small town theatre that shows a lovely mix of big name movies and more artsy titles. Has a snack bar and even table to sit. Some couches are available if you come early enough for the show. Beautiful decor and lighting.

One of the few art-deco theatres left in the country. Well worth the time to see it! Take the time to check it out.

Loved the film screened and am excited about the programing planned for the coming months. Theatre is beautiful and comfortable

You can't find theaters that look and feel like this one anymore. And the cost of the movie was only $7. per person. Just walking around the place after the movie brought back memories of going to the movies as a kid. I wish we lived around here to come back more often.

Full disclosure: I volunteer at the Campus Theatre and have worked with them on various projects, but I'm not an employee. I volunteer because the Campus Theatre is a great organization housed in an amazing building, a fully and very professionally restored 1941 single screen Art Deco movie theatre. The theatre underwent a restoration that the hands of its new owner, Bucknell University, a few years ago. It's managed by an independent non-profit and used not just for great movies (Hollywood films a few weeks after they show up in the chain theaters, and limited run indie and foreign films that are showing nowhere else in a 100 miles radius) but for music and community events. It's a huge treat, especially if you love old theaters showing great movies in a genuine small town.
