The Monarch Theatre is a two-storey Streamline Moderne-style building located in Medicine Hat's historic downtown. Connected to buildings of similar scale and vintage, the Monarch Theatre is highly valued as the pre-eminent social and entertainment hub and the oldest continuously running purpose-built movie theatre in Medicine Hat. Built in 1911 as a motion picture theatre and amusement house, the first of its kind in Medicine Hat and Canada, the theatre featured a movie auditorium in the west structural bay with a pool and billiards room and tobacco shop in the east structural bay.  


The Monarch Theatre, originally designed by a prominent local architect and built by local builders, was the largest and most extravagant theatre in Medicine Hat, exemplifying the growth and sophistication of the city during the Edwardian boom period. The 560-seat theatre opened December 21, 1911, premiering with a Mutt and Jeff film. The original 34 by 78 metre auditorium showed two movies daily with a matinee each afternoon. Initially, silent films were accompanied by a four-piece orchestra, until 'talkies' were introduced through the addition of an RCA Photophone in 1929.


Now the historic Monarch Theatre has more than just movies.  Their single screen shows new, unique and classic movies.  Check their website for upcoming showtimes and events. www.themonarch.net
