the dietrich theater

The Dietrich is such a treasure. The movie prices are right, the classes and events are family oriented.

Reborn as the Dietrich Cultural Center, the Dietrich Theater is a wonderful 4-screen movie house that doubles as a cultural center serving Wyoming Country. Once owned by the Dietrich family, today the theater is a 503-C non-profit who's mission is providing cultural services to the community. That means great movies including two film-festivals annually showing quality non-commercial movies, writers, painters, crafts groups, organized trips to cultural events in New York, Scranton and elsewhere. The Dietrich is truly the heart of Tunkhannock.

The Dietrich is more than just movies! They offer film festivals, art shows, community events and more! The restored section of the theater is wonderful - I remember seeing movies there as a kid! The new wing features party rooms, comfy seating and two additional screens. Why go all the way to Wilkes-Barre or Scranton?

Tunkhannock's Dietrich Theater is truly a special place. The theatre has such a variety of film options. The service and friendliness is small town community, but the seating, video/audio are big town!

Nice, comfortable theater. Friendly, helpful staff. The ability to pre-purchase tickets, nice touch. Doesn't disappoint.

This is a wonderful small theater with the comfort of much larger ones. My wife and I live about an hour away from Tunkhannock, but we drive up periodically to see a movie here because of the change of pace from the big chain theaters. They also run excellent film festivals in the fall and spring. Great and courteous staff as well.

My husband and I go to the Dietrich every so often because it's smaller than the multiplex type theaters. It's more community minded in that the theater also hosts other events such as creative classes for children and a Fall Film Festival. After the movies, there are several nice restaurants right across the street where you can enjoy lunch or dinner.

A great performance by Jay Smar. A very informative musical program and a joy to attend.The theater is a classic from a by-gone era and has been brought up to date. No bad seats.

I've been going to the Dietrich Theater for over 40 years. It was closed for several years and has now been completely renovated and is wonderful! There are several screens for a variety of movies and some great local restaurants right across the street!

A small town movie house much like in days of old, but with four screens, a beautiful gallery displaying all kinds of art, classes and events going on all the time, and very accommodating and helpful staff. Oh, and the best popcorn EVER! Worth the trip.

From first run 3D movies, plays,art exhibits to week long movie festivals the Dietrich is the glue that binds our fine small town. Come for concerts or to see the latest movies in high def digital you won't be disappointed.

We stopped in to see a movie but were to late. The last show already started. So we just bought popcorn to go. Great service and Great popcorn. Don't forget the butter!

The staff were extremely friendly. The A/C broke during our movie (it was 98 outside)... and they brought us ice water and gave us free passes to any future movie. Sound was good. Prices for popcorn/pop was reasonable.

The Dietrich Theater is always a pleasure to see a new movie any time of the year. It is a restored theater with the feeling you do not get from the big theaters. The people are great and the cost is reasonable We never miss the free showing of "its a wonderful life" shown every year during Christmas season.

Latest movies, 4 theaters to choose from, even stadium seats in 2 of them, smaller cozier theater, and the original Dietrich theater for a feel of old timiness but up to date technology. What more could you want? Tickets prices better than anything in nearby cities and a senior's rate at all times. There is great dining across the street or a block away for pre-movie plans. And if there is a line (almost never) you can view the latest exhibits in the lobby by local artists and the Dietrich arts programs. What's not to like?!
