This photograph of the White House Family Theater, or movie theater, was taken on July 20, 2017 during the Donald Trump administration. The theater is located in the East Wing of the White House, just off of the East Colonnade. The room was the East Terrace cloakroom until July 1942 when it was converted into the theater under the guidance of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Ronald Reagan administration remodeled the theater with tiered upholstered seating from 1982-1983. The theater was again refurbished during the George W. Bush administration, from 2004-2005, in a style inspired by early 20th century theaters. In May 2017, First Lady Melania Trump opened the movie theater as a part of the White House tour for the first time.
