We hope we have as much energy and drive as Tampa Theatre does at 90. The historic theatre in the heart of downtown Tampa has a marquee that harkens back to the golden age of cinema and an interior patterned with relics and mementos that define its eclectic character.
Cultural icon provides platform for international/local artists
It is a bastion of art, film, and music; the Tampa Theatre is a gathering place for creatives to escape into new and long-missed worlds. Whether Damien Rice is strumming his guitar on stage, Joe Rogan is releasing an unfiltered soliloquy pertaining to modern society or George Saunders is educating an audience on how to perform an effective five-second seance, the theatre provides entertainment fit for all curiosities.

Tampa Theatre launches fundraising campaign
The Theatre recently released their lineup of Rewind and Family Favorite films that will arrive in their theatre this spring. In order to continue providing this programming for local residents the Theatre launched a fundraising campaign with a $10,000 goal. Funds will help the theatre cultivate deeper relationships with artists in the community, as well as local stores and independent restaurants. The money could also help increase the profile of the film series with an expanded marketing budget.
To inspire your donation, here’s the full schedule of classics coming soon to the theatre:
