The Saenger Theatre Box Office is currently closed, but movie tickets can be purchased at the Mobile Civic Center Box Office (located at 401 Civic Center Drive; open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.).
The Saenger Box Office will be open on movie days. Hours will be 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sundays and 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays.
Tickets for movies can not be purchased online or by phone.
Limited concessions, as well as beer and wine, will be available.
Each year, the Saenger Theatre partners with a local non-profit during the Summer Movie Series to collect needed wish list items and cash donations for the organization at each movie. Past beneficiaries include Penelope House, McKemie Place and Lifelines Counseling Services.
This year, our partner organization is the Mobile Ronald McDonald House, which provides a supportive home environment offering care, compassion and hope to families with seriously ill and injured children being treated at local hospitals.

Items that will be collected at each movie are:
• Paper bowls (microwavable)
• Shampoo
• Plastic cups (disposable)
• Conditioner
• Paper plates
• Body Wash
• Tall kitchen trash bags
• Powder coffee creamer (pourable canisters)
• 8 to 10-gallon trash can liners
• Sugar (pourable canisters)
• Laundry detergent pods
• Granola or breakfast bars
Health and Safety Protocols The well-being of our guests and team members is our top priority. As such, we will abide by the following guidelines at all movies:
• Masks will be required for all patrons and staff while inside the venue.
• In order to meet social distancing guidelines, only 700 tickets will be available for each movie.
• We have mapped out our seating chart to ensure that patrons are properly socially distanced.
Because Alabama Governor Kay Ivey’s “Safer at Home” order mandates that for all non-work gatherings, citizens are required to maintain a six-foot distance between persons not from the same household, and in order to accommodate the maximum number of patrons, the majority of available seats will be sold in groups of four. We will have a limited number of seats for two people available for each movie. We will do our best to accommodate families with more than four members.
• Social distancing protocols will be strictly enforced in the Box Office, at the theatre entrance, and in all lobby and restroom areas. Signage throughout the venue will help patrons adhere to proper guidelines.
