Garneau Theatre

An indie theatre that has nice staff in a uniform 1950s theatre. Upon entering, you are welcomed to a few steps which brings you to the ticket place, where you say which movie you want to see. Then you are in the next part, concession, which has normal movie theatre stuff, and the butter is real. Then there is the 1 theatre, which is very large, and has a huge balcony seating area. It is very nice and vintage.

The Princess Theatre is a cool cinema in the centre of vibrant Whyte Ave. Nestled in a beautiful old building, the interior features nice vintage décor and the main theatre has a popular balcony. The concession prices are very reasonable. Note that there is the regular theatre, the Princess, as well as a sub-theatre "basement" known as the Princess II. If you're looking for the Princess II, you go in a separate entrance, which is immediately east of the main theatre door. Staff are friendly and will help you get to the right theatre.

The Varscona is a nice little theatre with favourites such as Die Nasty, a weekly soap or Oh Susana a monthly favourite!
