Where does the name Isis Theatre come from?

In 1912, The Webber Building in downtown Aspen was converted into a movie house by the Aspen Women’s Civic Improvement League. They showed silent films, held minstrel shows and nicknamed the space the Isis Theatre in deference to the goddess Isis.

Isis was the Egyptian Goddess of Magic. She was originally associated with the throne of Egypt, which contained magical power because it could turn a prince into a king. Later, Isis “absorbed the attributes of most other goddesses and some gods and became a supreme deity, famous for her curing and redemptive powers” (Lesko, 155)

How many people does each theater hold?

There are 4 theaters within the building, with a total capacity of 362. 

  • Theater #2 seats 150
  • Theater #3 seats 75
  • Theater #4 seats 75
  • Theater #5 seats 62

What kinds of concessions are available at the theater?
