Empire Theatre
134 West Side Road, Block Island, RI 02807, USA
The Empire Theatre is a historic summer movie theater located at 17 Water Street in Block Island, Rhode Island. It was built in 1882 as a roller skating rink and was converted into a theatrical playhouse in the 1890s. In the early 1900s, silent movies were first introduced, and the Empire continues to thrive as a movie theater and occasional playhouse today.
The Empire Theatre has a rich and varied history. Thanks to the generous donations from supporters, the 133-year old Empire Theatre, one of the few remaining rustic theaters in the country, now has a state-of-the-art digital projection and sound system. The movie image is brighter and the sound clearer than ever before. Admission for adults is $12 and for children/seniors is $10.
