What’s old will be new again at Circle Cinema – or it will be by July 15, when Tulsa’s oldest standing movie house celebrates its 85th birthday.
Behind closed doors and large curtains at Tulsa’s art-house cinema, construction crews work to complete a third auditorium – the largest yet at 250-plus seats, which will double the theater’s seating capacity – and a new lobby that guests will enter from a facade on Lewis Avenue that is being restored to its 1952 sidewalk ticket-sales glory.
