The Pickwick Theatre is an art deco movie palace located in Park Ridge, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Designed by Roscoe Harold Zook, William F. McCaughey, and Alfonso Iannelli, the Pickwick opened in 1928 as a vaudeville stage and movie theatre. It is widely recognized for its marquee and 100-foot tower, which appeared in the opening credits of At the Movies. The main auditorium, built to resemble an Aztec or Mayan temple, originally seated up to 1,400 people. Seating capacity in the main auditorium was reduced by 200 seats in 1968 and an additional 400 seats in 2012 as the result of renovations. The 2012 renovation project, valued at $1.2 million, also included a new roof, mechanical improvements and exterior renovations including those to the original marquee.

En 1990, la dirección del teatro expandió el Pickwick al agregar tres nuevas pantallas detrás del auditorio original. En 2017, el propietario Dino Vlahakis agregó un teatro de 39 asientos ubicado en el segundo piso del edificio trasero, en lugar de las oficinas del teatro. En celebración del Bicentenario de Illinois 2018, el Teatro Pickwick fue seleccionado como uno de los 200 Grandes Lugares de Illinois por el componente de Illinois del American Institute of Architects (AIA Illinois).
