Movies, Live Music, Private Rentals, Public & Community Events, and More.
A restored 1938 movie house on the North Shore, run entirely by volunteers. A big screen, a stage, a live sound system, and 90 seats split between classic theater seats and couches. Bring an idea, or just show up for a movie.
Every Harbor Theater movie and event
is free.A gift to the community. Alongside it, anyone can give a goodwill offering, whatever feels right. That's what lets the theater exist and thrive.Give a goodwill offering →
Why? ▾
Not because movies are free to run, but because we want the Harbor Theater open to everyone, whatever they can afford. If you can give and you believe in what we're doing, your goodwill offering keeps the lights on and the seats open for the next person. We believe it's the model that lets a community theater thrive.
The Harbor Theater is a place for movies you choose or stumble upon, concerts, debates, plays, fundraisers, and whatever this community dreams up next. If you come to love it the way many of us have, there are lots of ways to be part of it.
