If you haven’t visited yet, Tampa Theatre’s new microcinema is a must-see. This 43-seat screening room, located under Tampa Theatre’s historic marquee, occupies the former Nature Shop space at 711 North Franklin Street. The design of the 1,200-square-foot room draws inspiration from Tampa Theatre’s original architect, John Eberson, envisioning the type of space he might have built for his personal use. The Taylor Screening Room’s decor incorporates colors, textures, and details from Eberson’s 1926 plans for Tampa Theatre, complemented by modern touches that honor both Eberson’s architectural career and his personal family collection of art and photos.
