5.0 of 5 stars. The Naro shows a variety of movies, the staff is extremely nice, and it's in a great area. Plus, they have live Rocky Horror Picture Show performances which are AMAZING.

Yelp.com Review - by Sarah B.

5.0 of 5 stars. Love it; the best part of Ghent. The theatre plays films that might not be playing in places like AMC or Regal, which I love. And the rental store has lots of hard-to-find movies!

5.0 of 5 stars. If something bad ever happens to this place I will cry and sit on its doorstep wailing about the atrocities of corporate entertainment until they drag me away. Then I will come back and cry more.…

5.0 of 5 stars. Love it! The Naro is great! Tickets are now $8, but the snacks and drinks are reasonably priced. Brownies, cookies, homemade baklava, etc. from 1.50 to $3. It's little theatre. The people are super…

5.0 of 5 stars. Great art house theater, comfortable seats, delicious concessions and good prices. I've seen many films here that I probably wouldn't have had access to otherwise. We even saw Creature From The Black…

Yelp.com Review - by Atticus F.

5.0 of 5 stars. The Ghent area of Norfolk grew around the Naro. The only restaurant back in the 70's when the Naro was getting rolling was Intermission; right next door. All of the subsequent success that has…

5.0 of 5 stars. The Naro is a great place to go and spend an evening. It's a nice small, cozy theatre that runs a lot of movies hard to find elsewhere. Buying a ticket book helps to save 2 dollars off the price of a…
