You’ll find “The Old Theater” at the corner of Broad and Church Streets in Oriental. The Old Theater is home to most of the area’s cultural performances, including music, plays, dance and even old time movies.

The classic Old Theater first opened as a movie theater in 1945, serving as a social and entertainment center until the late 1950’s. The theater was reborn in the 1990’s and today helps fulfill the entertainment, cultural and civic needs of Oriental and Pamlico County.

The theater is operated by The Old Theater Corporation, a nonprofit organization. Run by volunteers, it is responsible for the management of the facility as a permanent home for theatrical productions, community affairs, business promotion and other civic uses.
