The Movie Theatre

The Andria Theatre is Alexandria’s downtown movie theatre — a single-screen operation that has been showing films for decades. In an era when small-town movie theatres are disappearing, the Andria is still here, still showing current releases, and still charging prices that make city people do a double-take.

The Experience

It’s a classic small-town movie theatre. One screen, real butter on the popcorn, and a lobby that hasn’t been focus-grouped into blandness. The auditorium is comfortable and the projection and sound have been updated over the years. It’s not a multiplex — it’s better than a multiplex in the ways that matter.

What’s Showing

The Andria runs current first-run releases, usually on a schedule of one or two films at a time. Showtimes are typically evenings with weekend matinees. Check their listings for what’s currently playing — it changes weekly.

Why It Matters

Supporting the Andria is supporting downtown Alexandria. Every ticket and every bag of popcorn helps keep a local entertainment option alive that most small towns have already lost. Take your kids. Go on a date. See something you wouldn’t normally pick. The theatre survives because people show up.
