The ornate interior, elaborate ceilings and stained glass of the historic Poncan Theatre recall the luxury of this circa 1927 Vaudeville house and movie palace. The Poncan Theatre has been carefully restored to its original grandeur so future generations can enjoy its architecture and historical significance. Today's greatest stars play the oversized silver screen while live theater productions and concerts bring life to the old boards again.
The Poncan Theatre is one of the few remaining examples of the once-famous "atmospheric theatres." During restoration, one of the world's largest collections of hand-painted lobby art was discovered. This unique treasure trove of historical original movie posters is very rare. Through the generosity of the patrons of the Poncan Theatre, these works have been cleaned and framed for visitors to enjoy.
Visitors can take a tour of the theatre to learn more about the architecture and rich history of the Poncan and those who performed there, as well as view the rare gems in the lobby art collection. During the tour, visitors may catch a glimpse of something unusual, as it has been reported that a ghostly woman in white has been seen in the balcony. Rumor has it that it's the ghost of a woman who died in the balcony while watching a movie decades ago. Call or visit the website for a schedule of movie showings and live performances.

Great theatre, built in 1927 and beautifully restored. A must see while in Ponca City. Worlds largest collection of hand painted lobby art.
