This film is rated PG by the Movie Picture Association.
Located in MCC’s Academic Arts Center, The Owl Theatre is excited to showcase films and bring community entertainment to Greater Lowell!.The original Owl Theatre was built in 1913 in the Boston and Maine depot – home to our Academic Arts Center – before becoming the Rialto in 1920.
This new version is an opportunity to:
- Revisit MCC and Lowell's roots
- Maintain a community tradition
- Tie in MCC's owl mascot Swoops
Conversations are already underway between MCC and other community partners looking to showcase films in the space in the coming months. Stay tuned for more announcements coming soon!
