I'm a big fan of Lake Theatre!…read more In the past year, the improvements have been huge. Knowing the new owners and how much they've invested in "unglamorous but necessary" infrastructure improvements, I commend them for making long-term investments in this theatre. I love their popcorn and their half-price refills on popcorn and soda. I particularly like the movie choices they make and keeping the movies as family-oriented as they can. Since the change in ownership, Lake Theatre offers matinee showings. I appreciate the commitment the new owners are showing and wish them much success!

This is the only theater in Oscoda and has been an icon in this area for many years. It is a very…read morerustic theater where the seating inside is clearly showing the wear of the many years of use by locals and the tourists that come to this area. Rustic/worn issues aside this theater has first run movies at hugely discounted prices when compared to the big city areas in Michigan. Popcorn and pop are also greatly discounted versus the metropolitan areas. From purely a value equation and with a eye towards supporting local businesses, especially in an economically challenged area like Oscoda, four stars.....

I finally came this summer, when they were playing Barbie. We purchased tickets earlier in the day and ate dinner next door to make sure we got good seats. That turned out to be unnecessary, but they did mention that some showings had sold out recently. I recommend getting tickets earlier rather than later! You can purchase tickets online or in person. I loved the ambiance in the theater - from the gorgeous velvet curtains to the stars in the ceiling designed by an astronomy professor. So much history has been maintained while adding modern comfort. The popcorn is also tasty and they carry local soda.
