The JPT Film & Event Center

The people at the theater were great. Saw 2 concerts there. The lower seats have been upgraded and are comfy. If you are anything more than average height and weight I would suggest staying away from the balcony seats.

Travellers, this is a jewel of a movie theater in Newport. Out on the sidewalk is the ticket booth and it immediately brings you back to another time when going to the movies was an event. It is lovely inside and I love that they offer everything you would expect from a movie theater and then a lot more. Gourmet peppermint patties which are delightful, especially when paired with the Pinot noir the theater sells. It was a yummy experience. They run classic movies, independent movies, documentaries, live performances, and so much more. It is a wonderful venue with fantastic programming. That being said I would love to see the balcony and sit up there for a performance sometime but I think they are still in the process of restoration. The location is beautiful on the common in downtown Newport, the service is very nice and with a smile. Get a glass of wine, a homemade peppermint patty, and enjoy the experience. It is worth the trip. Check it out. We recommend.

Very cute, nostalgic place to see a film. You can buy popcorn, wine, they had a beer tasting at the time I visited. A cozy environment and welcoming staff. You can go alone or with family and I saw a lot of couples on dates. Plenty of seating and overall a charming experience.

We had gone to see Cinderella for it's anniversary! The theater was beautiful 😍 while the seats were not comfortable I would not go see a movie like wicked or something. It was still nice seeing a beautiful old fashioned theater

Great place to watch and movie and envy those who paid 45 dollars for their recliner seats. We saw Jaws, and more and the nostalgia of an uncomfortable movie seat was right there. Will absolutely return.

Always love coming to the JPT. I have a membership. The people are great, the atmosphere is terrific, and yummy snacks. I have attended comedy shows, live music, and watched movies. Each event was fun. The refreshments support local businesses. I enjoy the different local beers and toffee. The sound quality is great.

Lovely small venue with historic and local flair. Great seats on the center aisle. Lucked out and found parking in the lot behind. My only complaint is that people were coming and going throughout the show and every time they did, the light and sound from the lobby carried into the theater.

Great experience the theater is historic and spent the evening watching the Goonies on my son’s birthday
