Additional Info

Opened in early-1995, this was Wellington’s local theater of choice. Offering low weekday admission prices, that low barrier to entry was offset by a fairly decent sized menu. Patrons viewed the films from their dining tables where they also could purchase drinks. The theater also branched into hosting comedy nights but fell victim to the 2008 recession subsequently shuttering in 2009. It was converted into a gymnasium, which closed in January 2020.

The original marquee had the phrase “Dinner theater and comedy club” underneath the theater name in smaller print. However, it really was not “dinner theater” in the traditional sense of the term so at some point the owners amended the name to the Silver Screen Cinema Cafe. I attended several films there and it was a pleasant experience.
