The Avon Theatre has been a cherished fixture in downtown Stamford since 1939, welcoming millions of film fans since opening its doors. As a mission driven, non-profit independent cinema, the Avon offers meaningful, artistically significant film programming that inspire audiences.

Our organization aspires to make an impact in the community by way of...

• Special event screenings, including post-film Q&As with filmmakers, artists, academics, and subject experts
• Collaborations and partnerships with various local organizations and institutions
• Free annual memberships to area educators
• Sponsored, free educational screenings for local students
• Annual scholarships to college bound high school seniors through our annual essay writing competition

The Avon Theatre relies on support from our members and our community to continue to provide excellent programming, sponsor our educator program and annual scholarship competition, keep our historic facility beautiful and current and to work with other non-profit organizations on educational and cultural events.

We also need volunteers in our Greenwich business office for special events and mailings. All volunteers receive special discounts.
