Hello there,

I was raised in this theater! My family ran and owned this theater for many years. It was the only Spanish-subtitles theater for many years in Miami. Many local artists would come by to visit my grandfather, Andres Marrero del Campo. My father, Andrew Marrero and grandfather were owners of several theaters in Florida.

I feel very blessed to have been able to grow up in an environment of creative people and movies! My brother, cousins and I would work the Concession stands and the film projection. My mom’s dad, Pedro Rene Hernandez, worked in the Concession stands as well.

It was a gem in Miami culture, and we were all very sad when they had to close the theater.

Thank you for keeping this website up to date and reminding future generations of the treasures that surround us.

Priscilla
