OUR MISSION

Turner Theatre is dedicated to celebrating the cinematic art form. With a curated program, Turner showcases the diversity of film, screening art house to blockbuster. The theater serves as a space for entertainment, cultural engagement, and social connection.

Through collaborations with the Cinema & Television Arts Department, as well as faculty and staff across Elon University, Turner Theatre aims to inform and engage the community with post-film discussions, moderated panels, and guest artist visits. 

Turner Theatre also supports emerging filmmakers and students by providing space to share their work through events such as community screenings, student showcases, and work-in-progress nights.
