Music Box Theatre

About

The Music Box Theatre is an independent movie theater at 3733 N Southport Ave in Lakeview, at the Brown Line’s Southport stop. The theater has shown films since 1929 under a ceiling painted like a night sky, and the program mixes first-run independent and foreign films with repertory series, late-night screenings and filmmaker appearances. A restoration campaign tied to the building’s 95th year is under way.
