Louisburg Theatre

Reopened just two years ago under new management, the Louisburg Theater is a fun treat to visit. Although I prefer watching movies in the downstairs theater, which is much larger and gives you the feeling you are in the 1960s, the upstairs screen is small but quaint. Typically movies that are held over a week from their release are played on the upstairs screen. They do take credit and debit cards, but hold your money on their popcorn. You’d be better off eating a candy bar and then going home and popping a bag of popcorn in the microwave, which will be much tastier and much less expensive than a bag at the Louisburg Theater. Just don’t smuggle food in. The family who bought and repaired it deserve moviegoers who respect their “NO OUTSIDE FOOD” signs. more

Louisburg Theater has everything you need in a theater. From great movies to nachos and popcorn, Louisburg Theater is a great place to go on a Saturday evening. Even though Louisburg Theater has two movie screens, their movie selections are always great. Tickets to enter are $4.50 for children and adults alike. After paying at the box office, you open the door to find a small lobby and snack counter. Their snacks are a little over-priced. $3 for nachos and $2 for a medium drink is what I pay when I visit. This may seem over-priced for me but I've heard of higher prices at other, bigger theaters. The theater is run by a family so service is perfect. You are treated kindly when you enter and when you leave. You seldom need to worry to wait in line, unless big movies like Passion of the Christ, Scary Movie 3, or Freddy vs. Jason is playing. more
