The Avalon Theatre, located at 5612 Connecticut Avenue NW, is the oldest surviving movie house in Washington. The main auditorium seats 428 plus spaces for 6 wheelchairs; the Avalon 2 on the second-floor seats 165.

The theater is run by the Avalon Theatre Project, Inc., a nonprofit organization. The Avalon Theatre Project's goal has been to create a new Avalon Theatre serving the community in all the old ways and many new ones. The Project is now offering the Washington community a revitalized theater with programming that includes outstanding independent, foreign, and documentary films and the best commercial films and film festivals. The Project has returned the Avalon to life as a vibrant and viable movie house, one that serves the needs and interests of the Greater Washington community.
