An iconic place for movies, and a home for kindred spirits

Right here in the heart of a hundred-year-old industry, one theater towered over all the rest for decades.

Here was the world’s only concrete geodesic dome. Here was the graceful curve of a massive contoured screen, advanced acoustics, and an early example of stadium seating. Here was a truly immersive theatrical experience, free from distractions. Focused on film.

That’s what distinguished Cinerama. That sense of dedication. Enthusiasm. Reverence. True movie lovers came here to drink it all in, to talk it all out, to build it all up. If famous faces appeared in the lobby, it wasn’t some publicity stunt. They flocked to a theater that valued respect and sat next to people who shared their passion. No star outshone the movies at the Cinerama Dome. It was, and remains, a temple to an art form — a place where we could sit in the dark, together, and worship.
