Historic Crest Theatre

The antique interior is beautiful. Such a gem with an energy all its own. The family that runs it is friendly and the ticket prices make a night out accessible to all Fresnans alike. They’re doing the community a great service by preserving it historically, while also planning to add amenities (like a new A.C). All is just charming proof of grass roots effort. If you want to feel like a real cool local, impress interlopers by putting them on to this place. Big shows are packed with die hard fans, smaller shows are great for quaint dates. After surviving covid, it’s truly an endearing underdog. We’re all lucky for the chance to step back in time for an evening, and catch a nostalgic show while it continues to beat the odds.

This is such a local gem. The movies and snacks are all 90s prices and there is not a bad seat in the house. Its run by folks who just want to keep downtown alive and vibrant. They are raising money right now to fix the AC so they can use as much business as they can get.

Gorgeous architecture and interior design of historic value. A blessing to have been privy to watch a film there. What an experience! A well organized event, fun drinks and snacks, smooth flow of traffic, for the most part, nice large screen, comfortable seats. Not one complaint! I wish I could go more frequently.

They showed a screening of purple rain. This is my first time being there. They are a nonprofit raising funds to restore the historic theater. This place has a lot of space do you have your future events including a dance floor. I and the Fresno purple family had a great time

Older theater with beautiful painted ceiling! We saw a Pink Floyd Light show that was amazing! Bathrooms definitely need an overhaul first!
