ABOUT THE

QUAKER CINEMA

Nestled in downtown New Philadelphia, the Quaker Cinema has supplied cinematic entertainment since 1940. Originally, the theater contained one massive screen in an auditorium that seated over 800 people. In the 1980s, the theater was converted into two screen to accommodate multiple movie showings. In 2015, the exterior was restored to the original marquee and the interior was modernized with a retro feel.
