About the Lark Theater
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places The Lark is one of only 50 single-screen Art Deco theaters still open and operating as a “movie house” in the United States. Built in 1940, the Theater anchors the north end of Larkspur’s historic downtown district and is designated a Larkspur Heritage Building. The Lark’s success is a model for small towns everywhere to save their rapidly disappearing local historic theaters, and with them, unique neighborhood experiences.
