About Us

The Lowville Town Hall Theatre is family owned and operated. In 1990, Patrick and Patricia O’Brien purchased the Town Hall. Pat and Patty did a lot of cleaning up around the theatre and even discovered some wonderful old posters advertising some of our favorite movies from days gone by. One of the great advancements that were made at the Town Hall was that Pat and Patty were able to update the movies being played at the theatre. After being known for showing movies at the tail end of their theater run, the Town Hall now shows first run movies within the first week or so of release.

The Town Hall has always been a social gathering spot at its location just off the busy Four Corners on Shady Avenue in Lowville. With seating capacity of 687 you will always be able to have a comfortable place to relax and watch the movies you like. During summer vacation the Town Hall is open Tuesday through Thursday evenings, as well as the regular Friday through Sunday hours. Pat and Patty also offer use of the Town Hall to groups during operating days in the winter and throughout the week during warmer weather. The latest movie on hand is available for viewing during the group’s function.

Without the help of the great staff, the Town Hall would not be able to run efficiently. Patty’s dad, William Mahoney, manages the Town Hall and several of Patty’s family members work in the many areas needed to run the theatre. Pat’s brother, Harold O’Brien designed the website several years ago and passed the torch on to their nephew Matthew Phelps who keeps it maintained and did the upgrades on the site (now Thriving Designs).
