    Travel back in time to when a night at the movies was still affordable and fun: this 300 seat Depression-era movie house features sofa seating (only 3) and a super tub of popcorn with real butter for $4. A real mom and pop theater. On the West Virginia Historic Theater Trail. In 2013, the Star went digital!

    Yep. The Star does it the old fashioned way. One movie, one time on weekends. But we do change movies every week. Glad you had fun -- we do.

    Great old-fashioned theater just like in the "Good Old Days!"

    I have attended movies and lectures at this Theater in Berkeley Springs, WV. They have been showing movies for 88 years. They just replaced their 1949 seats! These are not the new plush reclining seats you find in some theaters but they are comfortable. I...More

    Classic old theater

    Classic old theater with new movies and digital projection. Very reasonable price for admission. Only open on weekends with one film. Soon to replace seating!

    Great, unique old-time small town experience

    With what seems like original leather seats (that are quite narrow these days!), this theater is a taste of theaters from previous generations. Also a few couches! Can't beat the price ($4.50 for adults) and the popcorn is delicious. Owners are friendly. Great small-town feel.

    Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed our treasure. You'll be happy to know that we're hoping to replace the seats early next year with some a little wider.

    We're always delighted when people enjoy the Star. You got a real dose of what a small town community theater is by attending when Hotel Transylvania was showing. Come back again. Thanks.
