This is a cute one-screen cinema which has a really retro feel (down to the pre-movie reminders!) makes you feel like you should go to a diner and order a milkshake +fries afterwards

Catherine

The Avon's charming size and feel complements the films they show. Seats are narrow compared to newer theaters and there are no cup holders to hold beverages. Watch your step entering the rows!

Nick Rojas

Love this theater! Great to see indie movies here before they get to bigger theaters. If you love historical theaters, you'll love it here. Find parking early!

Miraj Shah

The Avon Cinema has been a landmark on College Hill since it opened its doors in 1938. During Brown's annual Ivy Film Festival , the Avon opens its doors to students and the community for screenings.. Read more

Absolute vintage perfection- only $8 for a ticket and not a bad seat in the house.

As a frequent patron of the cinema , I have been to many theaters. None equal to the promise of class and charm I get from Avon.

Much Ado About Nothing was great! The Avon is the place to be on a beastly hot Sunday afternoon

Bruna Bordoni

Cute little theatre. Nice sound, small screen but just fine for the kind of movies they play. I loved it!

Catch up on the latest independent and foreign films , perfect for unwinding after a hard day’s studying.

This place is great its like stepping back into the 1940's ( well , without the war stuff lol)

Paul Tuminaro

Absolute vintage perfection.

Fred Galpern

No fountain soda and only small bottles of soda . Smuggle in bigger and better, if necessary.

My go-to theater in Providence. Wide array of mainstream films and indie movies, as well as special re-releases and events. The bar is a little expensive but that's to be expected at these theaters. - Nick Rojas
