Story

The Lory Theater has been showing movies to the residents of Highland since the movie industry came of age. Prior to that, the Theater was a live entertainment facility used for everything from plays to vaudeville shows. With current seating available for 230 in the main theater and 98 in the second, the theater was the primary new movie source for Highland and the surrounding area. Recently owned by large theater chains Kerasotes and then AMC, all of the Hollywood blockbusters made their debut to Highland at The Lory Theater. In recent years, however, the theater was allowed to fall into disrepair and sadly behind in both technological and movie-going standards. On July 29th 2011 the theater closed.

Renovated by local couple Justin and Hillary McLaughlin, The Lory RE-OPENED on Dec 26th 2012. We now feature new clean bathrooms, state of the art digital picture and sound, and a welcoming family atmosphere.
It is our mission restore the position of The Lory Theater as the preferred movie venue for Highland and the surrounding area.

Very nice older theatre. The newly renovated bottom theatre has great seats and is very clean. If a movie I want to see is showing here it is my first choice.

Hadn't been in years until this week. It has really changed. Was cleaner than it used to be. Very friendly staff. Kids (2 and 3) were free. $2.00 sodas with refills. Free popcorn on Tuesdays. The ads before the movie were all hoky, in house made, for local businesses, but it was actually kind cool and charming. We will be going back more frequently now.

Great little theater in Highland. It's got a nice, cozy theater room and some interesting history for all the curious out there. They also have Ski.
