Q&A
What movies are playing right now, and how can I see showtimes?
Look to the right! (Or, on mobile, open the “drawer” at the bottom of this page.) That’s everything playing today! If you’re interested in upcoming screenings, click on What’s Playing? in the top menu.
How can I purchase tickets online, and are seats reserved?
To purchase tickets online, click on the specific day and time for the film you want to see. You will be asked to set up an account with Eventive, our ticketing system, before purchasing your tickets. Reserved seating is not currently available in our theaters, but we are considering it! Stay tuned.
Where is the theater located, and is parking available?
Please double check if your movie is playing at the Oriental Theatre (2230 N Farwell Ave) or Downer Theatre (2589 N Downer Ave). Both are on Milwaukee’s east side. Neither theater has designated parking spaces but street parking and several parking ramps are near each. (You might check SpotHero to reserve neighborhood parking in advance.) Both theaters are also on bus routes and have bicycle racks nearby.
What food, drinks, and concessions are available?
Oh, so many! We have been told we have the best popcorn in town, in part because we use real butter AND offer yeast as a topper! We also carry sodas, candy, beer, wine, coffee, tea, and numerous other offerings, many even locally made! See our Historic Theaters Concessions page for the full lineup.
Are there any accessibility accommodations, such as wheelchair seating or assistive devices?
Yes! Please check our Historic Theaters Accessibility page for the range of accommodations we provide, and if you have more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out! We are consistently working to make our theaters more easily accessible to everyone. In fact, if you have ideas about expanding the accommodations we offer, please let us know! Thanks!
