About Us

The Eltrym Theater opened in June 1940. Since then, it has undergone a myriad of changes, including the addition of a concession stand, two extra movie screens with stadium seating, and digital projection.

In 2008, the Eltrym was purchased by Dan & Teresa (Terry) McQuisten. Terry had worked at the Eltrym as a teenager and developed a love for the place. Dan and Terry bought the theater at the ages of 27 and 25, respectively, and signed the final loan docs just 5 months after marriage. Dan & Terry both believe the Eltrym is an important part of Baker City's economy and sense of community. We do our best to cater to all movie lovers, from Disney fans to Tarantino fans, with art films and occasional documentaries. The Eltrym has also hosted the We Like 'Em Short Film Festival and the Baker Art Guild's monthly Thursday Art Night.

Since buying the theater, the McQuistens have converted it from 35mm to new Christie Digital projection and tackled a number of remodeling projects. They have also welcomed their two darling daughters, Ellie and Finley, into the world.
