The Playhouse Cinema opened in 1929, a conversion of a former chapel. In 1935 a new frontage was added as well as stairs leading to a newly built balcony and the seating capacity was now given as 700. Two more screens were added in 1996 and the seating capacities today are: 78, 158 and 215. The Playhouse Cinema is also home to the Louth Film Club.

Louth Playhouse has now a true coated Silver screen that is now capable of showing 3D in the new Technicolor system. The new Silver screen will not make a difference when viewing 2D film but will make black & white’s crisper. The Playhouse, to celebrate this new feature, will be screening a new print of Orson Welles’s 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane (August 2010).
