Why become a member? Because membership matters.
Annual members save up to $4 per film ticket, enjoy other great benefits, and have the satisfaction of knowing their contribution helps to protect this unique, century-old theatre. Membership revenues contribute a significant portion of the funds needed to operate the Colonial Theatre each year so they are vital to our success.
If you love great film and are passionate about this historic venue, consider joining today! Membership also makes a great, all-occasion gift. Scroll down to view Basic and Sustaining Annual Membership levels – or click on the image pictured below to view our membership brochure.

All Colonial Theatre members enjoy these Universal Benefits:
- Free refill on popcorn and soda purchases
- Quarterly mail newsletter with upcoming programming
- 50% discount on Wharton Esherick Museum admission
- Member pre-sale for the Blobfest Run Out (July)
- Invitations to free member events and special offers

- Member pricing at other participating Art House Convergence theatres across the country, as part of the Art House Visiting Members program. Click the logo (below) to see a list of participating theatres; excludes theatres within a 30 mile radius of the Colonial.
Please note that certain restrictions apply to benefits. Matching gifts are appreciated but cannot be counted toward a total membership gift. The tax-deductible portion of each membership is noted below.
Current and Renewing members please take note: As a new, first-run theatre, the Colonial can no longer accept free member passes for feature films. Free member passes can only be redeemed for repertory (classic, cult, young audiences) film (see member benefits below). This change is in response to film industry regulations and prevents us from grandfathering in current members in the middle of their membership year. We appreciate the continued support of you, our members, as we transition to a new business model now that our three screens are operational.
