The Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre in Moscow, Idaho, is a historic, non-profit venue dedicated to providing high-quality arts experiences to the Palouse Region. As a community hub, it hosts a diverse range of events, including foreign language and independent films, stage plays, operas, and private screenings for occasions like birthdays. The theatre is appreciated for its unique historic building, well-maintained and affordable, though some find the older seats and lack of sound dampening a bit challenging for sound quality. Visitors often praise the friendly staff, reasonable prices, and the variety of shows, from arthouse cinemas to campy science fiction films and the Cat Video Festival. The centre aims to promote arts that might not otherwise be available locally and to encourage participation in the arts. It maintains a welcoming environment, prohibits discrimination, and works closely with college departments to host events. Overall, the Kenworthy is a beloved, diverse, and vital part of the Moscow community.
The best venue anywhere around here. Highly recommend going to one of their Rocky Horror nights or horror movie showings!

Friendly helpful staff. Great film choice/selection. Good concessions and interior design. What more can you ask for?

A lovely location with diverse showings and nice employees. Older seats and lack of sound dampening makes the sound mix tough, but it’s okay for the price and for the fact that they’re bringing diverse cinema to a town that dearly needs it.
