History
Lynwood Theatre opened on July 3, 1936. It was the first theatre on Bainbridge Island to show "
talkies" as ''She couldn't take it'' and ''Times Square Playboy''. The founders of the Lynwood Theatre, Edna and Emmanuel Olson, wanted to provide a modern alternative to the silent-picture cinemas which existed on Bainbridge Island in 1936. Operating with only one screen, the Lynwood Theatre shows independent and foreign films which rarely get played at large, mainstream multiplexes. Celluloid Bainbridge Film Festival was held there in 2017, and the Wildcat Movie premiere was held in 2022.
