Just walk in and over 80 years of incredible performances will wash over you. Hear Hoagy Carmichael play Stardust, see Gone With the Wind for the first time in Technicolor, feel the vibrations of world music you wouldn't hear anywhere else, swoon with the harmony of the Indigo Girls, and feel the pulse of downtown.

These unique experiences are what the Buskirk-Chumley Theater has offered to Bloomington for generations. Yet, like all non profit arts organizations, we cannot exist on the strength of ticket sales or theater rentals alone.

We need your financial support to continue bringing arts and cultural celebrations to our downtown. Your support will ensure that future unforgetable moments can be made in this historic space, enriching our downtown, our community and most importantly, our memories. Please read how you can support the BCT through sponsorship, volunteering, membership or purchasing program or on-screen advertising.

Golden Age of Hollywood movie series

Through a unique collaboration with Indiana University’s Department of Communication & Culture, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater and Bloomington Parks & Recreation have found a way to bring back the movie matinee!  Celebrate a time gone by, when watching musicals, romance, and comedy at the local movie palace was all the rage!  The Golden Age of Hollywood Series at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater offers movie classics from the 1930's, 40s and 50s.

The Golden Age of Hollywood Movie Series has now been presenting these beloved films for well over a year.  Our regular attendance is close to 200 patrons ranging in age from teenager to retiree.  The Series was honored by a Herald-Times feature article last summer, and the Golden Age of Hollywood’s dedicated audience continues to grow. IU Professor Chris Anderson brings insight and interesting accounts from his work in the field through a short introduction to every film.
