The Academy Theater


This may just be my all-time favorite theater. The Academy has been recently renovated after many years of suffering disrepair. It was first built in 1948, and was apparently a very popular place for movie-goers in the Montavilla neighborhood. Today, with the careful restoration and the attention to keeping it's vintage charge, it remains a great place for families to come for a bit of theater entertainment. As if the building itself were not enough to peak your interest, the prices are the real hook. On Tuesdays they offer buy one get one free movies! This is great for families on a tight budget, but still wanting to support local businesses.
Here are the details:
  • Adults $4.00/kids $3.00 (I told you it was great!)
  • 7818 SE Stark, 97215 503-252-0500
  • academytheaterpdx.com
  • and just to make it even sweeter, The Academy offers Flying Pie Pizza, beer, and wine!
