WELCOME TO THE MOVIES
The Gem Theatre has been locally owned since its inception well over 100 years ago and remains that way today. A theatre and performance centre should be a positive experience for the folks of Grand Forks and for visitors to the town. The Gem Theatre has been promoting friendship, community spirit and connection since 1913 and will continue that very tradition today.
