Here at The Pioneer Theater, we love our local community! Help us spread the joys of music, film, and fun in Manteo by sponsoring events at our historical theater.
Founded in 1918, The Pioneer opened its doors in Manteo, NC operating continuously until November of 2022, making it the oldest family-owned small theater in the country! Recently purchased and remodeled, we are back open for business showing classic top grossing films and hosting comedy and musical shows as well as training meetings and corporate functions.
Throughout the decades, The Pioneer Theater has been hosting so many first memories for people of all ages, whether the night’s program was a movie, music, or theater performance. Past events included movie premieres from local legend Andy Griffith and more recently, Tyler Nilson. It is truly a one-of-a-kind place that is loved deeply by the community.
We are looking for partners who know the value of community and would like to sponsor either specific events or advertise weekly in our pre-movie promotional loop.
