Avon Cinema is a one-of-a-kind and truly unique theatre, important to Providence and its community. It is an older theatre with a huge screen, holding much nostalgia. For decades, people have gone the extra miles to watch great cinema here. The staff has always been gracious, respectful, and helpful; they are real people. The pricing is outstanding. It also hosts special events like the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy, a great and riveting show with talented storytellers, unique drinks, and an amazing experience that is highly recommended. Many hope it remains on Thayer Street forever.
A true treasure of Providence, The Avon is one of those places that make a city special.

The Avon is one of the last of Providence's truly unique theaters (RIP Cable Car, Columbus, Castle) and holds so much nostalgia and amazing memories for me. Love it

My favorite cinema house. I have learned so much from it. It’s important to Providence and its community. May it remain on Thayer Street forever.
