Athens Theater has small town charm. Endearingly small, with good sight lines. It is comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. A short walk away are many charming and affordable restaurants with sidewalk tables - great for dinner before the theater or a snack after the show.

Before it reopened its doors a few years ago, Athens Theater is rich with history. It is know to provide entertainment--vaudeville, movies, tickets cost only 10 cents (I bet that was a great deal back then). And now Athens is back--properly restored to its former glory. Once you step inside the theater, you now discover what Athens looked like back... More

Nice venue. The play was well presented.---good cast, acting and staging. I would definitely go again with friends. The area is great for before and after theater dining.

The Athens Theater was restored a few years ago. It is smaller than today's theaters, yet it is beautiful, quaint, friendly staff and have some of the best performances you may ever see. The Eagles Tribute Band, The Beatles Tribute were live shows @ the end of 2012 and films like Rocky Horror Picture Show. Visit their website for calendar... More

Stepping through the doors of the Athens Theatre is like stepping through time. There's a rich, warm feeling to this cozy playhouse. I've seen South Pacific & the Christmas classic, Scrooge. Picking up tickets tomorrow for Neil Simon's, Jake's Women...and the season finale, Cats. The local cast members are oh-so-professional. Then there are tributes to talents like the Beatles &... More

I have lived in Volusia County for 26 years and visited the Athens for the first time last year. Since our first visit, we have been back several times. Shows are first rate and the theatre itself is a rare treat from days gone by. Beautiful. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Last night we had the pleasure of seeing South Pacific at the Athens. What a professional production it was. Local talent. David Loew (Emile - male lead) and Bernadett Siudock (Nellie - female lead) have voices that you just want to keep hearing . The cast itself enhanced the whole production. We have attended several other productions at the Athens,... More

South Pacific is playing right now, and it is an evening to remember. EXCELLENT performances; buy tickets now if you can! (Note: this legenndary cinema was remodeled a few years ago into a venue for live peformances. Seats are very comfortable and sight lines are great.)
