Where can I park?

The Circle Cinema has its own official free parking lot in the back.  There are over 200 available parking spots in the back of the theater (west) including several handicapped spots, as well as a covered awning over the entrance door.  Parking is also available along the street on Lewis, and there is a public parking lot across the street next to the library.  In total, there are over 400 parking spots around the theater.  All parking is free.

How can I help the Circle?

Being a non-profit commercial theater, most of the money we receive to keep the Circle alive comes from donations and grants.  You can help in many ways - by volunteering, spreading the word about the Circle to other potential Circle Cinema patrons, purchasing Circle Cinema merchandise for yourself or as a gift (pictures coming soon!), purchasing a Circle Cinema membership for yourself or as a gift, and of course making a donation by cash, check or credit card.  Also, just showing up to see the movies - we can’t stress enough how much good attendance means to the distributors who agree to show their films here!  So obviously, anything and everything helps!

Can I suggest a movie?

You are welcome to email suggestions of upcoming films that may be of interest to Circle Cinema patrons (specifically independent, documentary and foreign films that are unlikely to show at other Tulsa movie theaters) to info@circlecinema.com.  However, please understand that the film booking process is a complicated one (we have a booker in New York who books the majority of our films on a regular basis) and that our schedule is limited.
