Entertainment: Crescent Theater



Are you tired of going to the mega-movie theaters? Do you want to enjoy a film, but still feel like you're at home? Then you will love Crescent Theater.


Crescent Theater, located in downtown Mobile, prides itself on being a different type of movie theater. There is only one screen in the theater, making the experience more private and enjoyable.


Crescent Theater tries to show a wide array of movies, such as independent films. "We aim for the kind of movies that they're not gonna show at the Wynnsong or Hollywood 18," said Will Fawcett, Assistant Manager of Crescent Theater.


But just because there is only one screen does not mean that the same film will be playing for a whole month. "A lot of films run for one week," said Fawcett.


The exception to this? Every year during Mardi Gras, Crescent Theater plays the Rocky Horror Picture show.


Besides the smaller, more private viewing area, there is also a concession stand where you can get popcorn, as well as candy and drinks. But the coolest thing about Crescent Theater is that you can kick back in a leather recliner to watch your film!


So, if you're tired of the same old film experience, then try Crescent Theater.
