The Pitt is open 7 days a week with one showing nightly at 7:30pm. I was there back in December 2006. The lobby area smells like gray floor and deck paint…the mens restroom is old and has been painted several times with gray paint.
The Pitt just came under new ownership… they have a web page now: http://www.pitttheatre.com/index.htm
I go there about once a month (I live near Bedford) and the new owners have added new things every time since they took over… surround sound, historical memorabilia as art… Defiantly worth visiting!!!
Outside Owl…I made a trip from Harrisburg to the Pitt. I guess I will have to make another trip. Thank you for the update.

Great. Thanks for wasting space posting the same photo. Very helpful.
The December 17, 1938, issue of Boxoffice said that the Pitt Theatre would be ready to open in about six weeks. The architects of H.R. Cromwell’s new house were Joseph B. Smithyman and W.M. Braziell of Pittsburgh.
Smithyman and Braziell also designed the Penn Theatre at Leechburg, Pennsylvania, and at least two other theaters. Both architects also designed other theaters independently.
The Pitt Theatre’s website has changed to http://www.pitttheater.com/. The theater itself now has two screens, both showing movies at 7:30 p.m., and only 7:30 p.m., seven days a week.
