Great little theater. We were just there last month for the first time in years and they did a really nice job with the update.

What happened to The Neon?
I’ve recently moved back to Dayton after about 15 years and one of the things I missed most about it was The Neon theater, I remember the place screening a bunch of more edgy and experimental cinema but after being here for about 10 months everything they’ve screened other than…
Private Movie Theater Screening - Rental?
I'm trying to put together a small event for my friend's birthday. I was hoping to find a movie theater or AirBnB with a little movie theater room to watch a movie I can stream on a streaming service I pay for already. I don't have an exact head-count yet, but I'm not even sure…

Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Little Art Theatre's unique film selection, comfortable seating, and charming retro ambiance. It's praised as a social experience where community connections are fostered.

"Recently I photographed an intimate wedding at Yellow Springs Ohio's Little Art Theatre. The staff was friendly and prepared for the small gathering. The ceremony took place on the stage where movies are shown. Thanks!"

"Remarkable gem where it's a social experience on top of a great movie. Meet your neighbors (seriously, we were surrounded by neighbors), and have Q&A/trivia after a thought provoking film. Beautiful buttered popcorn, cocktails, brews etc.
Since the renovations a few years back the seats are beyond comfortable and classy, the sound is top notch, and while the screen isn't IMAX enormous it's appropriate for the venue and there isn't a bad seat in the house. The film lineup is unique and carefully chosen so you're seeing movies that matter. Drop in on anything and you'll walk out feeling and thinking just a little bit differently. Very good stuff.
Thanks for the experience Little Art Theater!"

"Went to see the movie Thrust. Was a amazing post apocalyptic film where women rule the world. Whats better than this? Well nothing is that's what. If you see it in your town go see it and if your in yellow springs go check out the Little Art Theatre it awesome."
