Highlights
Baltimore's Charles Theatre is located in the burgeoning Charles North arts district. Architect Jackson C. Gott designed the Beaux-Arts buildings that house the theater in the late 1890s. The structures were originally designed to be a cable car barn and powerhouse but were remodeled into a movie theater - the Times Theater, which was the city's first to show only newsreels - in 1939.

The four additional screening rooms have stadium seating, while the original 485-seat room has a distinctively retro feel. The Charles offers first-run specialty films in addition to foreign films, new Hollywood releases and older classics. It also has a weekly series called Cinema Sundays at The Charles with breakfast and post-screening discussion usually led by filmmakers, critics or experts on topics covered in the films.
