Exclusive Photos: Tampa Theatre’s Expansion Introduces New 43-Seat Microcinema!

With plush velvet seats, bold 1920s-esque carpeting, art deco light fixtures, and one little hidden gargoyle guarding the door, the new John T. Taylor Screening Room brings the elegance and history of the Tampa Theatre to a more intimate venue.

After nearly a century of screenings, the historic movie palace at 711 N Franklin St. finally expanded next door. The 43-seat screening room – dubbed a microcinema – opens on June 1 with a series of screenings of The Old Oak from British director Ken Loach.
