As of this weekend, summer is officially in full swing! There’s nothing that says summertime quite like ice cream, long evenings outside with friends and, of course, afternoons chilling at a movie theater. As theaters and businesses continue to reopen, individuals have more opportunities to enjoy favorite pastimes this season. In this post, we’ll discuss three top movie theater options you can choose from while you’re staying in Shreveport LA. We’ll also provide a few other movie-related suggestions, including watching a film at home in our travel nurse housing solutions.

- While you’re in town to work at a local hospital such as Willis-Knighton Medical Center or Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, please take time to visit Robinson Film Center. The theater not only shows current films, but also is a non-profit that offers film-related workshops and various programs to benefit the local community. In addition, RFC hosts fun events throughout the year such as a Book Lover’s Supper Club, classic film screenings for senior citizens and a Regional Filmmaker’s Spotlight series. If you’re looking for a lunch or dinner spot, the theater also is home to Abby Singer’s Bistro with delicious bites, meals and dessert.
- Cinemark Tinseltown and XD is located at 8400 Millicent Way in Shreveport. The theater offers all the traditional amenities such as popcorn, soft drinks, candy etc as well as the current showings. Cinemark features recliner chairs for guests as well as XD technology that gives you an even better view of the action.
- Regal Louisiana Boardwalk is located in Bossier City LA and has a robust offering of coupons / value days and a rewards program. Simply sign up for the Regal Crown Club and earn points toward discounts, downloads etc.

Travel nurse housing and tales of movie history provide other alternatives to the theater
If you’d prefer to learn about the history of movie theaters in town versus going to an active location, check out the Cinema Treasures website, that lists a number of old cinema theaters that no longer exist.
Did you know that The Strand Theatre, a famous Shreveport icon, showed movies for awhile back in the day? Yes, although The Strand now shows live performances instead of films, it used to welcome moviegoers during the 50s – 70s.1
Finally, don’t forget that our comfortable, fully furnished travel nurse housing rentals are a great spot for movie-watching as well. Pop some corn, bake some cookies in your fully equipped kitchen area, or throw a load of dirty clothes in the washer while you relax in a leather recliner at our home-away-from-home designed…for you!
