May 23May 23 205 S. Elmer St. Sayre PAWebsiteEver since the closing of our beloved Heights Theater, I haven’t really looked forward going to the movies like before. Sure, the mall theater has those big comfy chairs, but in addition to the ridiculous prices, the experience just weren’t quite the same.Today we went to see the new Star Wars movie at the Sayre Theater, which we’ve been wanting to try for a while now. Let me tell you, this is our new place to go.We caught the matinee ( $10 per adult ) and got two medium drinks with a medium popcorn for under $40.Staff was very friendly and informed us that they’d recently lowered their popcorn prices. Small theaters don’t make their money on admission, particularly with first-run movies, they make money on concessions. So even if the prices were a little more I wouldn’t have minded.Inside the theater, it felt a LOT like being at the Heights Theater. A smaller screen above a stage surrounded by an old timey look:Parking is on street, but there’s plenty of that to be found, especially around Howard Elmer Park, just across the street.Overall it was a great experience and with several other movies on our “must watch” list, we’ll be going back a lot this summer. Plus, they’re doing some viewings of It’s A Wonderful Life for the film’s 80th anniversary this December. We plan on going to that as well.If you enjoy movies and want to support a small, non-corporate theater, I highly recommend the Sayre Theater.
