The Centennial Theatre understands the importance of movie going as an escape from reality in Sheridan. We take very seriously not only your health and safety but also that of our wonderful staff. It was our goal to keep our doors open during this COVID-19 outbreak by enhancing our sanitizing efforts and increasing social distancing by limiting the number of people allowed into each theatre. But, as the social distancing numbers decreased from 100 to 50 to 10 it has become apparent that to follow the President’s Corona virus Guidelines for America we were left with only once choice, to shut down for now.

We thank you for your support over past 67 years of block buster movies and look forward to overcoming this crisis, allowing us to continue to bring Sheridan the best in Big Screen Entertainment.
