Sutton’s Elk Theatre is a beautiful 1930’s art-deco gem in the heart of West Virginia. This one-screen theatre opened its doors in the 40’s and can seat around 250 patrons. They offer a variety of films like new releases, classics and independent films making them a staple of the arts and culture scene in Sutton.
Coming under new management in 2023, the renovations at the theater helped create accessibility for patrons and bring equipment up to modern standards. The Theater can now also be used as a live venue and events space.
For more information the theater hosts a museum on site to help visitors understand the historic and cultural significance of the building. For more information please visit: https://www.elktheatre.org/history
