400 Nemo’s are missing in the United Palace – help find them before the movie starts! One Nemo finder will win a pair of tickets to the New York Aquarium and other Coney Island goodies.

Finding Nemo continues the Movies at the Palace Season of Friendship. We chose that theme after asking ourselves what we need most to get through 2024. Our supporters and fans helped us select the movies in the series, including:

  • Finding Nemo (2003): July 28
  • Thelma & Louise (1991): Date TBD
  • The Breakfast Club (1985): Date TBD
  • Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977): Date TBD

The history of United Palace, Manhattan’s 4th largest theatre and now a landmarked building, began in 1930, when it was then one of five Loew’s “Wonder Theatres” across the boroughs and New Jersey. Designed by noted architect Thomas Lamb (Cort Theatre, the former Ziegfeld Theatre) with interiors overseen by decorative specialist Harold Rambusch (Waldorf Astoria, Radio City Music Hall), it was one of the region’s premier vaudeville and movie houses. Today, the United Palace hosts concerts, movies, and community events and provides spiritual and cultural programming.

Tours are capped at 40 people. Proceeds go toward maintaining the building. This event is being hosted by United Palace of Cultural Arts.

***Tour schedule is subject to change. Tours may be modified depending on events within the theatre.
