Item Description

Revel in cinematic grandeur with four tickets to the historic and beautiful Tampa Theatre.

The quintessence of grand movie palace architecture, the Tampa Theatre was chosen as one of “America's 21 Wonders" and “One of the Top Ten Iconic Showplaces in the World.”  A beloved community treasure since 1926, the Theatre was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, is a Tampa City Landmark, and is a member of the League of Historic American Theatres.

Designed by famed theatre architect John Eberson, the Tampa is a superior example of the "atmospheric" style of theatre design. Inside the Tampa, audiences are transported to a lavish, romantic Mediterranean courtyard replete with old world statuary, flowers, and gargoyles. Over it all is a nighttime sky with twinkling stars and floating clouds.

Members of The Central Florida Theater Organ Society perform at the Mighty Wurlitzer Theater Organ before most films.
