Welcome back to the River Oaks Theatre!

Are you ready to experience the magic of cinema once again at the historic River Oaks Theatre? After closing its doors in 2021, this beloved Houston landmark is finally making its grand return with an opening date set for Thursday, October 3.

In a recent social media post, the theater announced its much-anticipated comeback, promising an unforgettable experience for movie buffs and art enthusiasts alike.

The River Oaks Theatre, with its charming two-screen setup, Art Deco design, and iconic marquee, has been a staple in the community since it first opened its doors in 1939. Known for showcasing indie films, film festivals, and cult classics like “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” this theater offered a unique and intimate movie-going experience that larger chains couldn’t replicate.

Following a change in ownership, the theater will undergo a “full facelift” to enhance its facilities and offerings. Expect upgrades like a new roof, a full kitchen, and a carefully curated wine and cocktail menu to elevate your theater experience.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there! In addition to screening a diverse selection of art house films, the River Oaks Theatre will also host live performances, creating a dynamic space for theater arts enthusiasts to come together and enjoy a range of entertainment.

If you’re a musician, comedian, dancer, performer, or anyone with a cool act to share, the theater is actively seeking talent for upcoming shows starting this fall and beyond. This is your chance to be part of the revival of Houston’s cinematic gem.

Get ready to rediscover the magic of the movies at the River Oaks Theatre. Mark your calendars for October 3 and be prepared to be amazed by the transformative journey this historic venue has in store for you.
