Welcome to Shawshank State Penitentiary, where the laundry's fresh, the warden's corrupt, and the walls tend to be funny. First, you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. Well, everyone but Andy Dufresne.
Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
