I have a thing for old theaters and find it sad that they aren't as revered as the new ones. This one almost was closed a few years ago and I'm glad that it didn't. We enjoy movies here and will always choose here over the new places. More

This place was interesting because it had an interior that some of us remember from our youth (one big screen in a sizable room, with some ornate and warm decor features). It was also was imbedded in a neighborhood, rather than part of a distinct shopping/entertainment complex. Otherwise, it was never a big draw for me as a regular destination,... More

The Senator has seen better days and is desperate need of some much needed repairs. The paint is peeling in spots, the wood accents on the wall looked water damaged and overall has a dingy feel. That said, we went and saw "Incredibly Close and Extremely Loud," last night had a great theatre experience. The screen is HUGE and the... More

my son directed, produced, and edited a documentary type filled here and had a good turn out. I love the old style theater feel and brought back memories of the days of innocence and simple pleasures. The curtains, old style ticket office, upper seating area-just a great experience and owner was easy to deal with when booking our debut film.... More
