“the only single-screen movie theater in Louisiana”

The Prytania Theatre is the only Single-Screen Movie Theatre in Louisiana . It is also the oldest operating theatre in New Orleans and was opened in 1915. We have recently renovated the theatre and have new seating, a renovated Lobby and a new huge screen and state of the art sound and projection. If that is not enough reason to make you come visit us; Here is another reason. The owner, Mr. Rene Brunet, is recognized as an expert as a New Orleans Theatre Historian and can tell you almost anything about the 60+ neighborhood theatres in the New Orleans area; which are displayed on our lobby walls. He will be the gentleman in the lobby with the "Movie Tie" on! We hope to see you at the Movies!
