Monarch

Welcome to the Monarch Theatre!


The Monarch Theatre is debatably the OLDEST running movie theatre in CANADA located in downtown Medicine Hat.
                                                                                                                                                                                             

The 'Sewer Upgrade Project' will begin on Monday June 17 and will include the upgrading and replacement of water mains, storm sewers and surface work improvements.  Weather depending, construction is anticipated to take approximately three months to complete, possibly to the end of September.  For the duration of the construction, the 600 block of 2nd Street from Inspire Cafe to the Monarch Theatre will be closed to all vehicular traffic.  Provisions have been made to accomodate pedestrians during this period and free temporary customer parking will be provided within the east half of the Cottonwood parking lot adjacent to 1st Street S.E. and the laneway behind the Royal Liquor Store. Sorry for any inconveniences this may of caused !
                                                                                                                                                  

Now Showing

The Rep
The Rep is screening on June 16 and 19th at 7:30pm.

THE REP reveals that the passion for a cinematic experience is still alive. The question is, will a greater audience recognize their cultural value before it’s too late?

The film follows the lives of three uber film geeks during the first year of operations of a single-screen repertory cinema. Dubbed ‘The Underground Cinema’ by its gang of misfits, Alex, Charlie and Nigel will stop at nothing to see their theatre succeed. In the face of strong competition from big box theatres, local cinematheques and home video, it’s a constant struggle to stay afloat. Throw in 12-hour workdays, having no semblance of a personal life and all the normal stresses of working day in/day out with the same people… things couldn’t be much more of an uphill battle.

THE REP also takes a broader look at the world of repertory cinema in North America. Currently being devalued by studios, corporate theatres and patrons themselves, movies have become less of an experience and more of an activity. Watching a film is something you just do to pass the time, rather than the event and spectacle they once were. Repertory cinema is an ever-shrinking but ever-passionate world of film lovers trying to keep the experience of cinema alive.

An Evening of Quartets - June 24 at 6:30pm.

Live Entertainment: Pam Wagner and Rick Lett Combo at 7:30pm

Movie: Quartet - (PG) - Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, it's a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred Bond (Billy Connolly) and Cecily Robson (Pauline Collins) this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home. But they're in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham House's gala concert?

Beer and wine available for purchase.

$10 per ticket, children 12 and under FREE!!!
