Step into a living piece of Cincinnati’s cultural tapestry. Since 1941, the 20th Century Theater has been more than just a venue—we’re a vibrant thread in the fabric of Oakley’s community, weaving together past and present in a celebration of art, music, and shared experiences.
Our journey began as one of Cincinnati’s first neighborhood cinemas, a place where locals gathered to laugh, cry, and dream together. As the years rolled by, we didn’t just preserve our Art Deco charm—we evolved, transforming into a dynamic hub for weddings, corporate gatherings, live performances, and community events.
Recent renovations have lovingly enhanced our historic Art Deco architecture while seamlessly integrating modern amenities. It’s our way of honoring our roots while embracing the future, ensuring we remain at the forefront of Cincinnati’s event scene.
From intimate weddings that touch the heart to concerts that shake the rafters, from high-stakes corporate presentations to community fundraisers that strengthen local bonds—our stage has seen it all. And we’re just getting started on our next act.
At the 20th Century Theater, we’re more than just event hosts—we’re memory makers, community builders, and caretakers of a cherished Cincinnati landmark. Here’s what sets us apart:
