Senate Theatre

Senate Theatre One of the last little Historical Theatres in Missouri
We are PROUD to say we are a MOM and POP Family run Business! We ONLY take CASH sorry no plastic!

In brief, you should know the following about us: our theatre was established in 1911 and was purchased by the Sinnett family in 1974. The theatre features a full concession,and we have been responsible for providing first-run, full-feature length motion pictures on our single screen to the community. Our regular customers particularly value the ambiance of the theatre that takes them back and our

pricing which allows the whole family to enjoy a movie together without putting a dent in their budget!. November 2012 we went Digital and are now showing some features in 3D! On Wednesday, January 5, 2011, the Senate Theatre was destroyed by fire. We reopened May 20th 2011. The Sinnett family wants to thank the local community for all of their continued support. We would also like to thank everyone involved in the fundraising efforts. The money raised was a tremendous help in getting the doors of the theatre reopened. If not for the community this would not have been possible, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A big thank you also goes out to all the firefighters who fought the fire. We are so very grateful.

A quick note about this pinned post: As long as you see this at the top of our page, the Senate Theatre remains temporarily closed. When we’re able to reopen, we’ll remove it and make sure you know.

Until then, thank you for continuing to check in on us and for all of your support. ❤️

EDIT: EVERYONE IS HEALTHY. These are business-related circumstances we are dealing with.

We have an important update to share with our Senate Theatre community.

Effective immediately, the Senate Theatre is temporarily closed due to circumstances requiring our immediate attention.

We know many families were looking forward to joining us for Paw Patrol this weekend, and we are incredibly disappointed that we will not be able to welcome you through our doors as planned.

If Paw Patrol was part of your family’s weekend plans, we hope you’ll still make a trip to the movies. Our good friends at Ratterman Theatres in O’Fallon are showing it, and we can’t recommend them enough. They’re a wonderful independent theater with affordable tickets and concessions and the kind of small-theater experience we know so many of you value. Since you aren’t able to support the Senate this weekend, we’d love to see that support go to another locally owned, independent theater.

At this time, we don’t know exactly when we will be able to reopen. We are working to do what we can, as quickly as we can, and we will share an update when we have one.

If you currently have a rental or other event scheduled with us, we will be reaching out to you individually as we learn more about what the coming days and weeks look like.

We know there will be questions. At this time, we have shared all of the information we are able to share publicly, and we appreciate your understanding and respect for that.

Most of all, thank you for continuing to support the Senate. We know how much this little theater means to this community, and your support means more to us right now than we can adequately say.
