The Athens has been restored to the glory days of movies. It's nice to see that the city of Deland has kept this theater rather than destroy it. Everyone there is very friendly. More

While we thoroughly enjoyed the evening show, we were a bit let down at the renovations. The outside looks like it did back in the old days, but the inside has been quite modernized. It has a cream and dark brown motif that is not very appealing. The seats are comfortable and spaced out in a way to allow for... More

Saw three shows during this season. The many volunteers (box office, ushers, performers) were very friendly. All performances were entertaining. It's impressive how well organized this community theatre is.They keep prices reasonable, offering a Senior Discount for 62+. More
