Be a star at the historic Avalon!

Avalon Membership

The beautiful and historic Avalon Theatre was dramatically rescued, restored, and reopened in April 2003. Through our exciting Membership Program, you can help sustain Washington’s only non-profit independent movie house while enjoying an array of fabulous benefits at the theater and in the Chevy Chase, DC neighborhood. Open to individuals and businesses, the Membership Program helps to sustain the Avalon’s stimulating and unique programming. And because the Avalon is the city’s oldest operating movie house, you also help preserve a piece of history and an historic landmark. The Avalon is operated by the non-profit Avalon Theatre Project, a 501(c)(3) organization. Your membership fee is tax deductible less the fair market value of the benefits provided. Take a look at the membership benefits, find the level that’s right for you, and SIGN UP TODAY!
