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. 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. 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.
