The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center is a film-based arts organization created to strengthen cultural, educational and entertainment experiences in the region northwest of Pittsburgh.
About Us
Open 365 days a year, this nonprofit Theater offers a wide range of films and genres—new releases, classics, documentaries, international and educational films including art, museums, musicals, stage plays and music on screen. The Lindsay, with its state-of-the-art equipment, quickly became one of the region’s best cinemas, according to Pittsburgh Magazine.
The Theater has served more than 200,000 since opening in 2017, drawing visitors every month from Allegheny, Beaver, Butler and Washington counties; West Virginia, Ohio and beyond.
All day, every day, discounts bring ticket prices to $8.75 for senior citizens, military and college students with ID, children 10 and younger, and groups of 10 or more. General admission price is $11. For details on concession options and prices, please click here.
