Broadway Theatre (Saskatoon)
The Broadway Theatre is a historic single-screen movie theatre located in the Broadway district of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Opened in 1929, it is one of the oldest operating movie theatres in the city and a landmark within the Riversdale neighborhood.
Originally a vaudeville and silent film house, the Broadway Theatre transitioned to showing sound films and became a community hub for entertainment. Over the years, the theatre has undergone renovations while maintaining its original art deco architectural style.
In recent years, the Broadway Theatre has focused on independent, art house, and documentary films, offering an alternative to mainstream cinema. It also hosts live performances, including concerts, comedy shows, and theatrical productions. The theatre is operated as a non-profit organization and relies on ticket sales, memberships, and donations to support its programming and preservation. Its mission is to enrich the community through film and the performing arts. It plays a significant role in Saskatoon's cultural landscape and is a popular venue for both local residents and visitors.
