The Weinberg Center opened in 1926 as the Tivoli, an elegant theater that could present both silent movies (accompanied by the cinema’s Wurlitzer organ) and stage shows. And in 1940, Jack Warner, head of Warner Bros Studio, had a hand in the installation of air conditioning to the Tivoli.

After falling into disrepair in the 1950s, the Tivoli was purchased by Dan and Alyce Weinberg, and today, the Weinberg Center presents classic movies and a variety of live performances throughout the year, including the “Wonder Book Classic Film Series”, sponsored by Wonder Book, a local bookshop offering new, used, rare, and collectibles items, such as Peter Lorre radio shows on vinyl records and films on DVD.

The full schedule is available on the venue’s website.
