A newly formed company, River Oaks Theater, Inc., an affiliate of Star Cinema Grill Group, plans to keep our dream theatre alive!
Here's the official word.
On the evening of Saturday, November 20, 2021 in celebration of the theatre’s 83rd birthday, Friends of River Oaks Theatre presented a free 90 minute screening of favorite movie trailers selected by the theatre’s fans.
The clips were projected on the back of the River Oaks Theatre building from Mister McKinney’s Historic Houston History Bus.
Houston City Council Member Abbie Kamin presented a proclamation “…that the River Oaks Theatre is to be recognized for its 83 years as a beloved community film sanctuary and wished a Happy Birthday for generations to come.”
Popcorn was provided by “Friends”, pastries from Epicure Café, and bar by Marfreless River Oaks Bar and Lounge.
The well-attended event had an enthusiastic audience who joyfully celebrated the theatre’s birthday and cheered for their favorite film trailers.
The trailer for Richard Linklater's Boyhood was one of many screened at the celebration.
Here's a special message to Friends of River Oaks Theatre from filmmaker Wes Anderson.
