Arlington Music Hall is a classy historic theatre that provides an excellent entertainment venue. The 1,100 seat auditorium includes state-of-the-art sound and lighting, an expanded stage and a classic new decor. I love that the original marquee has been beautifully restored. I remember as a child going to movies at the theatre. I don’t want to date myself, but I remember my parents would drop me off with a dollar and that was more than enough to get into a movie and have snacks.
Arlington Music Hall was built in 1949 and opened in February of 1950. The theatre was considered state of the art at the time and featured a stage for bands. The opening show was the movie “Seabiscuit staring Shirley Temple and Barry Fitzgerald. Opening night live music was provided by a local band known as The Light Crust Doughboys
