Opened in 1996, the Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center is on the campus of Mercyhurst College. It’s not a movie theatre per se, but does have a regular film series. It shows a lot of movies like "The King’s Speech", "Winter’s Bone", and "Waiting for Superman".
It’s primary use is as a performing arts facility, but it is currently the only movie house within the Erie city limits.
