We now accept card payments. Tipton's Diana Theatre has been owned by the same family for 99 years. Jim Paikos' father, Nicholas, bought the Diana in 1926. Nicholas was a Greek immigrant coming to America at age 14, but the Diana was named for a Roman Goddess. A naming contest w

as implemented and a young boy won a $10 gold piece after his suggestion was selected. The Diana has seen four Paikos generations work her counters. The single-screen Diana is a throwback to gentler and warmer times. Movies are selected with families and Tipton area values in mind. The theatre includes a crying room, thought to be the only one in the state, possibly the nation, for parents of crying children to still watch the movie without bothering their seat mates. Twice a year, Christmas and Easter, the Paikos family gives back to the community by treating the children and families to a free movie. In a day of ever-rising costs, a movie in Tipton is more than reasonable. $6.00 for adults and $4.00 for children 2-11 yrs. It's possible to take a family to the Diana complete with popcorn and soft drinks for less than $40. This is a secret well known to surrounding area residents who may travel 30 miles for an evening of entertainment and sometimes, a little nostalgia.

For 100 years, The Diana Theatre has been more than a movie theater.

It has been first dates and family traditions.

Saturday family night and popcorn.

Generations of memories.

A gathering place in the heart of downtown Tipton.

Today, after a century of stewardship by the Paikos family, we are honored to share that ownership and operation of The Diana Theatre will transition to the Tipton Main Street Association.

This announcement marks the beginning of a new chapter — one built on preserving everything that makes The Diana special while ensuring it continues serving our community for generations to come.

We are deeply grateful to the Paikos family for the love, dedication, and countless memories they have given to Tipton since 1926. Their commitment has made The Diana one of the most beloved landmarks in our community.

Under Tipton Main Street Association stewardship, The Diana will remain an affordable and accessible place for movies, memories, and community connection.
As we look ahead, The Diana Theatre will explore opportunities to preserve the theatre's historic character while expanding arts, entertainment, and community experiences in downtown Tipton.

But tonight isn't just about the future. It's about celebrating 100 years.

It's about honoring a family that has cared for this treasure for generations.
And it's about recognizing that places like The Diana matter because of the people who fill the seats.

Thank you, Paikos family.
Thank you, Tipton.
Here's to the next chapter.
🎬❤️

Join us Saturday, June 20 from 12–3 p.m. for Kick-Off to Summer as we celebrate the Paikos family, 100 years of The Diana Theatre, and the start of a new chapter for downtown Tipton.

The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 5,” and this time it’s Toy meets Tech. Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie and the rest of the gang's jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad , a brand-new tablet device.

06/15/2026

Call us nostalgic, but as we get ready to celebrate our 100th Birthday this Saturday, let's take a trip back 31 years.

Some of you may remember seeing the original *Toy Story* on the Diana Theatre screen back in 1995.

Now Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the gang are back for a brand-new adventure in **Disney and Pixar's Toy Story 5**.

This time, it's Toy meets Tech.

When a new tablet named Lilypad arrives in Bonnie's world with her own ideas about what's best for playtime, the toys find themselves facing a challenge unlike anything they've seen before.

Join us this weekend as we continue celebrating 100 years of movies, memories, and family traditions at the Diana Theatre.
