Cinema of the Week (9 of 21) Warner Theatre in Morgantown, WVa




This week we focus on another historic movie theatre, and for the third week in a row, we choose a cinema from a college town.

The Warner Theatre in Morgantown, WVa, is an art deco style cinema that was opened by Warner Brothers in 1931.

The three-screen theatre at 147 High Street, which is currently showing "Milk" and "Gran Torino," was built with an exquisite architectural design.

The Warner will be screening a midnight show of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" on March 21.

I have to wonder if my cousin Shanon Sturgis, who is a rocky horror fanatic, might venture from St.Louis to take it in!
