The Astra Theatre is a 357-seat historic theatre located in Jasper, Indiana that first opened in…read more1936 and was operated as a family-owned movie theatre for the next 66 years. Located directly on Main Street, the theatre was reconfigured to become a duplex cinema in the mid-80's. However, surviving in a world of multiplexes ended up being too tough and the Astra was closed in September, 2002. After a few years of interest followed by no action in claiming the Astra, Next Act, Inc. bought the theatre in 2015 and began a move toward restoration with a $400,000 historic preservation grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs followed by a $1.7 million major restoration in 2017-2018 that replaced all major infrastructure (electric to and throughout the building, plumbing, HVAC units and ductwork) while also allowing for the installation of a new accessible restroom on the first floor, an expanded stage, new seating throughout, re-opening the balcony, new sound and lights, a new men's restroom, a renovated women's restroom, a new concessions area, new doors, a refurbished marquee, new doors, refurbished windows, and more. I had heard of the Astra prior to its renovation, however, I'd never visited prior to a recent visit. Thus, I can't speak to the level of improvement other than nothing accessibility improvements are obvious. The Astra Theatre has 269 seats on the main floor and the balcony tends to only be opened when the actual need arises, though for reserved seating events they do make the balcony available. The second floor is not accessible. Accessibility features include an accessible restroom on the main floor, accessible seating toward the front of the theatre, and an accessible platform in the back. It's not perfect, but it's quite good for a historic theatre. The Astra has concessions at all events - Pepsi products along with the usual popcorn, candy, and chips. They do also have beer and wine available for those age 21+. They do accept cash or credit/debit cards. The Astra is not a regular movie theatre at this point, however, they do host movies, special events, comedy, and concerts. On my visit, it was for a movie screening but I've also heard good things about the Astra for other special events. I don't get to the Jasper area as much as I used to, but I'm a fan of historic theatres and am slowly getting myself to as many of Indiana's best theatres as I can. The Astra has operated for the past seven years utilizing volunteers. So, if you're expecting all the creature comforts of a multiplex think again. This is a historic theatre run by the community for the community and utilizing volunteers who are passionate about the space. They are friendly and helpful. If you're going for a special event, there are several hotels in the Jasper area at a variety of price points. The website tends to be updated when a new event is coming up. However, the Astra is also active on social media. I saw a statement on their website describing the Astra as a brand new 80+ year-old theatre and this sounds about right. With significant upgrades, the Astra is comfortable, beautiful, surprisingly accessible, and the kind of Indiana event space you should experience at least once. Southern Indiana is ideal for a day trip. Oh heck, make it a weekend and check out the Astra.

I didn't get a photo of the small concession list as the line was fairly long. A large soda was 5.50, popcorn only comes in one size (probably a typical medium bag) and is 6, kids packs were 6, nachos were 6, candy was 3 and 4.50 depending on what kind you wanted. They also offered a large selection of Icee flavors. Their Pepsi machine was a newer one as well, with flavor add-ins available. There is a small arcade when you first walk in. We didn't play any games though. The aisles were not marked well in the theater we had seats in. The seats were comfortable and reclined. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

There is some street parking right in front or you can park along a side street. This theatre is such a cool old building and just recently they have been doing some remodeling on the main floor and putting in new floors and new seats. It wasn't quite completed when we were there but are very thankful that they allowed us to have the main floor anyway. They offer movies for families or groups where you can have the entire theatre to yourself. It was such a nice experience to be able to do this with extended family. Normally they reserve the upstairs theatre for this but we let them know that we had someone in a wheelchair and so they made every effort to have the main floor ready so we could use it. The concessions are typical movie theatre with the awesome buttery popcorn and boxed candy, nachos, drinks... oh and they offer free refills! Kind of something that is unheard of nowadays! Overall this is a great place to go see a movie and we will definitely be back.

Definitely a good selection of food that you can order along with non-alcoholic/alcoholic beverages to enjoy while you watch your movie. The seating is superb and suitable for larger people as well. My only complaint is the trays seem to be a bit wobbly and if you order a beer there is no use for either of the cup holders. The sound is Dolby Atmos certified (and it's impressive) which is not quite as good as IMAX but probably the next best thing. The video/screen were excellent although I did notice a slight glare from the exit signs. Bathrooms are a bit of a walk from the royal suite, they should have installed a small bathroom in the area. For the price and quality it's hard to complain about anything except for minor inconveniences, I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this hidden jewel!

Bring supervision back to the theater so those who would like to actually watch the movie can enjoy and those who are putting their feet on the top of peoples seats and talking can be reprimanded or removed.

One thing I really appreciated was that the theaters don't have steep staircases- makes it so much easier for older people and honestly just more comfortable overall.

My family and I have been coming here for over two years, and we've never had a bad experience. Buying tickets is very easy. You can use apps like Fandango, show a screenshot on your phone, or print a paper ticket. They also have a kiosk and staff who can help. There is plenty of parking, and on Tuesdays the ticket prices are lower than normal, which is a nice bonus. The concession lines are usually short since it's a small town. The only downside is that the theater doesn't have a big billboard or street sign. It's about two blocks off the main road, so if you're not from the area, you might miss the turn. Overall, we're thankful to have this theater in our community. I highly recommend it for watching your favorite movies.
