Welcome to Sussex County's Only Art House Theater!

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society (RBFS) and Cinema Arts Theater (CAT) is excited to participate in this annual 24 hours of giving campaign. RBFS is celebrating its 25th Season and what better way to support the only Art House in Sussex County! We attribute our staying power to diverse programming that appeals to the local communities we serve.

Whether you’re a cinema enthusiast or enjoy entertainment on the BIG screen, CAT IS WHERE IT’S AT! The Cinema Art Theater is open year-round and programs Monday through Sunday first-run Indie documentaries, drama/features, international films an alternative features.

The cost to produce a weekly film schedule is high and ticket sales alone will not cover the licensing fees, or operational overhead (maintenance of projection equipment) for our two-screen theater.

The weekly screening schedule provides 4 – 5 films each day from Wednesday through Sunday. Ticket prices are nominal ($9.00/members, $11.50/general audience and $5.00/students). We keep our concession prices in line with the 1990 pricing!
