Circle Cinema originally opened in 1928 and now operates as the only nonprofit cinema in the area.
As Tulsa’s oldest movie theater, we celebrate creativity, the arts and filmmakers from around the corner and across the world. Circle Cinema educates, enlightens, and entertains guests 365 days a year through selected features and programs that expose and connect our community to global issues, environments, and cultures.
We believe deeply in our mission of fostering community consciousness through film. We were honored to be recognized by the Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice as a community leader in 2018. We are grateful for the kind words leaders of other community organizations shared for our co-founder Clark Wiens, his wife Michelle, and the theater as a whole. We strive to fulfill our mission every day by making Circle a welcome and open space for everyone through a diverse variety of film screenings and events.
