NOT YOUR ORDINARY NIGHT OUT
On Thanksgiving Day in 1929, it cost
only 6 cents for admission to the Saenger
Theater movie place. Today, the 1000seat Saenger has become a celebrated
fixture in the heart of historic downtown,
surrounded by an array of awardwinning, locally-owned restaurants, all
within walking distance.
One of only seven Saenger Theaters built
and operated throughout the South by the
Saenger Brothers, Abe and Julian, the
Theater was designed by New Orleans
architect Emile Weile and is an example
of Neo-Classical Revival Style and Art
Deco Style. It was placed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1979. In
2000, a $3.75 million renovation was
completed, restoring much of the
Theater’s grandeur. Its original 778-pipe
Robert Morton Pipe Organ is one of the
few remaining organs of its kind in the
United States and is a centerpiece for the
Theater.
To experience the elegant historical
ambiance for yourself, visit the Saenger
for an upcoming production.
