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.

You're never too old for a backyard legend.

Join the Elsberry Class of 2030 for a special night at Missouri's oldest movie theatre! These young leaders are bringing a timeless classic to our big screen as a fundraiser, and they need YOU to make it a home run.

The Movie: "The Sandlot" – the story of ragtag friends, a mysterious beast, and the summer that changed everything.

The Mission: Help our local kids raise funds for their future. Every ticket you buy is a swing of support for the Class of 2030.

Your Plan for the Night:

When: May 20th | Doors at 6:30 PM | Movie at 7:00 PM

Where: The Historic Senate Theatre, Elsberry

Tickets: Just $5 each (cash only, please!)

Why You?
Because you remember what it felt like to be a kid with a dream. Because you believe in showing up for the next generation. Because some stories – and some communities – are better together.

Bring your family. Bring your glove for old times' sake. Most importantly, bring $5 and show these kids what Elsberry is made of. ❤️

P.S. We are cash only, so grab those $5 bills and come ready to cheer!
