Our Organization
The Island Theatre
The Island Theatre
The Chincoteague Island Arts Organization (CIAO) is a 501(3)c nonprofit organization, incorporated in Virginia as a non-profit in December 2011. CIAO was created to save, utilize and maintain the vintage Island Theatre as a cultural arts center for Chincoteague, offering a unique downtown venue for events.
The Island Theatre

The Island Theatre
Now beautifully renovated, the Island Theatre (formerly the Island Roxy), offers first-run movies during the summer season and classic films in winter... as well as concerts, plays and all kinds of other entertainment. The theater aims to please the local community and visitors alike with a diverse selection of exciting events!

WE THANK YOU!
ON SCREEN, ON STAGE AND ONLINE...
LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
Are you a theater lover? A cinema buff? A film aficionado? Does the smell of hot popcorn or the taste of Milk Duds evoke fond memories? Then join our great team of dedicated volunteers at the Island Theatre and the Annex! We can use your help, now and when we're up and running again... in the theater at the front of the house, backstage behind the curtain, or in the Annex with all sorts of activities. Call us at (757)702-2170, leave your contact info and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
We are working on a tentative summer schedule for the Theatre with live performances on Monday nights, classic or international movies on Wednesdays, and family movies on Thursday nights. Also in the planning stages are special programs for children. Watch for announcements as our Theatre plans develop.
We have been working to make the Theatre and the Annex as safe as possible. Plasma filter air handling systems have been installed in both the Theatre and the Annex. Both locations will be cleaned thoroughly and frequently. We are planning for assigned seating and social distancing between individuals or parties of two or more, which will reduce our seating capacity. Masks will be required to be worn whenever you are not seated. There are other changes you may notice as well. The lobby and concession area have been repainted with colors that echo the original color scheme from 1947. Marquee lighting is improved, and the lobby and concession lights will be brighter. New exit lights are being installed. The entrance doors have been restored to their original appearance.
Thank you for your continued support!
Marquee Love
