The dawn of American cinema, witnessed firsthand by those who lived through it a century ago.

The Tampa Theatre, a historic movie palace in Tampa, Florida, opens its doors for the first time in 1927, and nearly 100 years later, the MPV Crew gathers former and current employees and fans to share their stories and memories of this beloved treasure. The film takes viewers on an exclusive tour of the Theatre, showcasing hidden areas and sharing the extensive knowledge of its manager, Jill Witecki. The architect of the Theatre, John Eberson, shares his story, and former ushers, Rob Mueller and John Bohannon, recall their colorful experiences working at the Theatre. The film also delves into the Theatre's significance in American history, including a visit by US President John F. Kennedy and the early protests of Martin Luther King Jr. in the Tampa area.
