Ron Robinson Theater To Open in Downtown Little Rock With Series of Free Film Events

Seats going in at the Ron Robinson Theater for the grand opening.

The Central Arkansas Library System and the Little Rock Film Festival are opening the Ron Robinson Theater this week in downtown Little Rock with nine days of movie screenings, all free of charge and open to the public

It will be a chance for the public to see the new 315-seat theater with state-of-the-art digital projection, which is part of the newly-built $6 million Arcade Building.

Little Rock voters approved a bond issue in 2012 to fund the Arcade Building, where the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies will also house an archiving space.

The Arcade building is at the corner of River Market and President Clinton Avenues.
