This has been a staple for my movie watching experience for about 30 years. The seats are not comfortable, but the experience is awesome. Great popcorn, cozy environment, and not a bad seat in the house as it pertains to viewing experience. You have to come here, at least once!

This is one cool theater .. mostly childrens movies... fun.

Best theater in Tacoma. So much character, so much fun! Private rental was great, Sue is the best!

My husband & I live in the Proctor area (in Tacoma WA) where the BM Theatre is located. This is a older, vintage movie theatre, with lots of charm & classic interior decorations. The staff are polite & friendly & their popcorn & refreshments are traditional movie fare. Their ticket prices are highly discounted from traditional theaters which makes it a neighborhood favorite. BM offers a variety of different shows, including current & past top-rated hits & favorites. Do yourself a favor & check it out You won’t be disappointed!

Great little local historical theater. Dont miss the International Film Festival put on each Spring.

First run movie only slightly delayed for half the price, plus a small, warm community atmosphere with special programs like the upcoming Sister City International Film Festival, every third Friday Fright Night @ 10pm, & the every Saturday midnight Rocky Horror Picture Show with a local costumed cult following! And great popcorn! The longest continuously running theater on the West Coast has been preserved through community involvement ️

We love this little local gem. Small neighborhood movie theater in the Proctor district. Movies are late season releases for a low price. This little gem also has a variety of horror movie nights and the last theater I know of that still shows Rocky Horror Picture Show with a dedicated live cast perform below the movie screen.

Great staff, selection of films, love Friday Night Frights as well. Seats could use replacing, otherwise a great theater.

Love that its a community theater catering to the North end with a great location and really cool shops and eateries to visit or patronize.

This is a great local movie theater. Decent prices for snacks, good ticket prices, and cool atmosphere. They usually only have late season movies or special events

What a gem of a theater! Seats a little over 200. A throw back that is kept in great shape. Complete with concession stand right in the front door. $4 tickets on Monday and Tuesday. Watched Bohemian Rhapsody. Two tickets, medium popcorn and a medium soda $20. Great value. Great memories.

Great little place. We were there for a birthday party. Pricing to rent the place out was low compared to others. The party host brought a movie, drinks and snacks. It is a great place to do a party.

Neat little community theater. $4 Monday and Tuesday shows, Friday night fright classics and Rocky horror picture every Saturday. Fun place

Great prices and comfortable, low-key atmosphere. The perfect movie theater to take young kids!

I adore the Blue Mouse and all its employees--from the ticket sales person to the young concessions booth workers. Everyone is so friendly, and I really appreciate their efforts! Plus, the building itself is beautiful with its craftsman detailing. Its nice to be able to visit a family-friendly theater that does not break the bank! I had a blast last night, watching the Grinch with my sister and nieces. Thanks, Blue Mouse!

Sweet little local theater. The manager is a hoot! Great place!

Such a cool theatre! Good popcorn, nice staff, lovely 50s vibe.

Quaint little theater. Very comfortable, great popcorn, and friendly staff!

Wonderful film festival today!!! A shout out to Stories of Us, Camp Second Chance. Well done, Melinda and team!

Fabulous neighborhood non profit run by super friendly volunteers. Cream of the crop 1st run movies plus amazing hidden gems. You wont want to see movies anywhere else. Did I mention the popcorn is delish?

The Blue Mouse is a beautiful and historic movie theater. I love this place!

This is a great second run theatre. Has been running in Proctor District for years. Does not have all the amenities as newer theatres, but you can see a good movie at a great price. Sitter closer to the front and in the middle for the best view. You can also rent the place out for parties and private screenings. Blue Mouse is a fun little the as theater.

I love this theater! the tickets and concessions are super cheap but still quality and the movie experience is amazing. they dont have the reclining chairs like AMC but Im alright with that. the theater itself looks like a performance hall (its pretty) and the building is rather historical. parking is a little difficult; youll have to park on the street a block away.

This is a friendly neighborhood movie theater where lots of people walk to see a movie. Great popcorn. Nostalgic for me. I have been in this neighborhood for 58 years. I have watched the changes and been very thankful to all who have kept the Blue Mouse running.

Classic theater experience.The historic Blue Mouse.If youve never been, go!

Great prices on tickets and refreshments. Love the old school set up. They host wonderful events. Recently attended the film festival for short film viewing. A pleasant experience.

Love discount Mondays and Tuesdays here- only $4.

Wonderful local community supported movie theater. I wish theyd have fun toppings for their popcorn but besides that everything is great. And I love that there is not a bad seat in the house.

Took our almost 3 year old to the Grinch Who stole Christmas film and utterly enjoyed our time in this super family friendly place! Tons of kids, boisterous life, and a jewel of this community. Thank you for providing a fun space for kids and kids-at-heart!

I rented out the Blue Mouse for my 30th birthday this year. Everyone was helpful in answering questions beforehand, getting tables ready for us, and even having popcorn ready to go just for us. It was such a fun and unique way to spend my birthday; everyone who came wants me to do it again next year!

Imagine a theatre practically untouched by time. A nostalgic trip back to a day when life was less complicated, and people could enjoy a film without expecting gigantic screens, deafening sound systems and spending half a paycheck to get in and enjoy a popcorn and soda. It still exists - go to the Blue Mouse Theatre. I swear, its not the Twilight Zone.

Rented out the theater for a birthday party. The staff was wonderful and accommodating. They made sure we had what we needed to make the party successful. Thank you.

What a great little theater. I was told that its 95 years old this year. I grew up next to the Admiral theater in West Seattle and going to the Blue Mouse in Tacomas Proctor district brought back memories of those days long ago. The Blue Mouse is a fun experience and the popcorn is great. Management is doing a very nice job. Heres to another 95 years!

Tonight I wasnt there to see a new movie or even the Friday night frights. it was for the Rocky Horror picture showAnd it was great!

Went to see the Rocky Horror picture show for the first time in a theater and had an absolute blast. The actors were so much fun with the comments and the added flavor they brought to the scenes they mimicked from the screen made the experience so much more enjoyable than the movie itself ever was. Being a Virgin was an experience I will never forget and I cant wait to introduce some other friends to it.

Awesome theater! Friendly staff. Really clean and quaint! Best popcorn too! Great place to see a movie!

The price is right and the staff friendly. My complaint is that the companion seating for the handicapped seating is wooden fold down seats and very uncomfortable for a 2 hour movie.

I use to visit these types of theatres as IChild.retro should be the new old

Great small old school theatre. Excellent popcorn!

I come almost EVERY rocky horror picture show, I love the theater and the employees are super nice. An awesome place for kids when the PG movies come around during the day too

This is a great old theatre. Loved the seats. Loved the price. Great little neighborhood. All around a great destination.

This theatre is small but packs a lot of heart. Its always clean and the employees and performers are always friendly and helpful. I have been there a few times for their Rocky Horror Picture Show showing/interactive performance and its amazing. If you live in the area or can get to the area its an experience you dont want to miss!

Surprisingly good picture and sound for a half-price, second-run theater! Im a home theater enthusiast, and have a 4k projector with Dolby Atmos sound, and I thoroughly enjoyed a recent viewing of Ready Player One here at the Blue Mouse which is an over the top action flick if there ever was one! Highly recommended.My only gripe would be the seat, which was quite worn in, but you cant have it all I suppose!

A old time movie theater. An active audience. The most fun Ive had at a theater since I was a kid.

Great picture, deep bass, clear rich surround sound. Greatest popcorn ever!

My sons first exposure to the Rocky horror picture show, and it was perfect. An eclectic mix of young and old, gay and straight, normal and twisted! That is to say, the crowd and the cast; both of whom performed flawlessly! My personal favorite, I bid and won a lap dance for breast cancer, from Rocky! Kudos to the operators of this homy, comfortable old theater in the old district of Tacoma!

Should be a Historical landmark. Beautiful inside. Parking is street & read the limited parking signs.

As a local historical theater its a good place for a quick movie for the price when there is a flick playing you like. I do wish they would put the movie rating (PG etc) on the front reader board. The theater is aged but kept at a comfortable temp. Main limitation is not offering more snack food items anymore. They only have popcorn, drinks and candy. But like other theaters we still end up paying more for our snacks and popcorn than we did for the tickets. Be sure to eat dinner before coming.

Small theater, showings usually at 7, matinée showings on Saturday and Sunday. Overall a nice place, tickets are not nearly as expensive as larger theaters. They sponsor many community activities, and are always helpful and respectful.

Friday night frights. Had a great time. Needs a bar.

Great little venue for a movie

All the cool people hang out there!

Went there to see Its a wonderful life and it was an event of the year. So enjoyed myself so much.

A clean reasonably priced theater. One adult and two kids, with popcorn sodas and candy for under $30! Less than 3 tickets at the big theaters. Staff are friendly and support the local community. Its a great place.

Comfy seats, good popcorn and price

Attended Rocky Horror. Not my favorite show, but the cast was thoroughly engaged and amped the audience well. Making use of props to bring the show to life helped overcome a distractingly aged stage. Not a show I would expect to find in the Proctor district, I understand theres a lot of history here, and I hope it survives much longer.

A great neighborhood find; first run films at a reasonable price in a comfortable auditorium with good sight and sound.

Ive been going to the wonderful small neighborhood movie theater for 70 years! Yes, I use to go to Cowboy and Indian matinees in the 1940s. So what if it doesnt have cushy seats, its is still a great place to see second run (cheaper) movies. Old fashioned concessions.

Perfect date night spot for hubby and I. Great prices, great souvenir cups with refills, good popcorn and I love how beautiful the theatre is. Only wish there were more than one restroom for each sex, but it is more than worth it. Overall love this theatre, definitely making sure I go at least once a month. I want to keep this lil gem open for everyone.*offer military discounts as well

The Historic Blue Mouse Theatre is a Tacoma treasure. The neon sign out front with the blue mouse is actually one of Dale Chihullys early works with neon. They typically run a movie for a week from Friday-Thursday at 7pm and weekend matinees usually at 3:45 or 4:00 as well as the evening 7pm. Some movies do get a two week run. Monday andTuesday evenings plus weekend matinees are only $4. Regular price is only $6 and $5 for under 16. The 2nd & 4th Saturdays don on your Rocky Horror Picture Show attire and do the time warp! Only $6, and cheap prop bags are for sale. Participation is highly encouraged! Doors at 11pm, pre-show at 11:30, and movie at midnight. The 3rd Friday brings Friday Night Frights. They show a cult classic horror movie, and have a fun trivia round before the show with prizes. The Blue Mouse is also available to rent. There are a few parking spots out front, but its street parking for the rest, so plan a little extra time for parking. #LetsGuide #LocalGuides #LeeHeath

Great small-town feel. Shows movies that people procrastinate when first released. We go for the low ticket price and to go to the Proctor neighborhood and shop around. We are those procrastinate and love that we have this option.

Very Cute old theatre. Simple, and a good good price with $6 tickets. Reasonably priced concessions. They way I remember theatres when I was a child-- I will always try to check out what they are screening when I am in town.

We saw Aquaman here. Screen is good. Seats are all retro 80s style and it was fun to be in a theater like the ones from my childhood. Good prices and FREE REFILLS ON COFFEEE OMG!!!!!

Welcoming, neighborhood cinema......and much more. Community spirited. Shows movies that are only a few weeks from being first screened.

Love the theater -- especially love the free refills on the large popcorn!

I absolutely love the Blue Mouse Theater. My family and I come here all the time. The seating is great. So are the prices. I love feeling like Im going back in time with the vintage feel.They usually have movies for younger people but we go anyways since the environment is fun. In the summer they also have fun old movies that they play during the week.

Went for the film festival shorts. Cute little theater, they have concessions & restrooms (one is wheelchair accessible ). We also attended a birthday party here for a friend of my daughters. Very fun, parents provided the movie for the theater to play and brought popcorn candy, pizza and drinks!

Ive been to over three dozen movies at this theatre so I can say with confidence that you should visit. The ticket price is good, ranging from $4-$9 depending on the day and movie. Popcorn and other food prices are reasonable, and the sound system is good too. Usually they play one movie for a week then move onto the next movie on the following Friday. Usually the movies here are 3-7 weeks from coming out on DVD. So if you missed a movie in theatres but dont want to rent it and watch it on your tiny TV at home this is the place to see it on a theatre sized screen!One thing that could change is the seating, theyre getting a bit worn out guys... Not that they arent comfortable, just need to be replaced within the next year. =)Its a great place, so go check it out! And dont forget to check their website weekly to see whats coming!

Beautiful theater! The seats have plenty of leg room and they make very good popcorn.

Quaint antique theater on Prosser. Best price on movies in Tacoma. Clean facility, great popcorn. Step back in time and see a good movie!

Love this family-feel theater, popcorn, and inexpensive movie tickets! Weve been going here a few years. Only tip: bring a jacket/something for padding because the seats are not the most comfortable for longer movies;)

Adorable, quaint place! From what I could tell, its in great condition for being almost being 100 yrs old. I liked that it was vintage and small, and the original light on the ceiling was a classic beauty....amazing color. The seats I saw needed to be cleaned, but what cloth seat theatre doesnt! Next visit, Ill really check out the place.

Its small, its historic, its cheap, its Tacoma.

Small screen, cheap prices, fresh popcorn, and big hearts.This little local theatre deserves your love. Plus, they do Rocky Horror all year around. ;)

This is a very old very cool old theater.That said you get what you pay for the prices are cheap and its a neat old place.The seats arnt very comfortable so if its a long movie your butt will be sore by the end.The Screen is small and pretty far away so you have to sit toward the frontSound is actually all updated and good.So for a cheap place to see Movies this is a cool place but nothing like the modern theaters.But that said we enjoy going here for the old theater feel and cool people that work there.

It is a small theater. Pleasant, comfortable seats.

So cute & unique local theater! Love how its only one screen available so whatever they are showing, that will be it. Limited viewing makes it more special, I think. Staff are friendly and clean space. Only thing is that if youre used to comfortable soft seats, there is none here. Very old fashion stiff seatings here but still worth the cost. Also, Mon&Tues. Films they show are only $4!

This building is a great piece of history in Tacoma. Im proud of everyone who worked so hard to keep it from going under. The people are friendly, both the staff and movie goers. The movies are well chosen, and the cost for everything is less then half of what you would pay at other cinemas. Best of all, youre supporting a local business. Keep up the good work and I hope more people go.

Always a great place to see a show and save a few bucks. Family friendly.

Wonderful local theater. Great place!

Went for a birthday party. Beautiful theater and very nice staff.

Love this place it is a blast from the past!

Vintage theater. Modern digital HD multichannel projection. Great popcorn. Great price

Such a cute theater! Movies wont be brand new, but theyll be good. In addition, tickets and concessions are incredibly cheap compared to other theaters. Theres only one screen, so whatevers playing is what youll be watching. Local schools and groups can rent this out for live performances or concerts as well.

I may be addicted to this theaters popcorn. I dont know what it is, but its delicious. Their ticket prices are great, the movies are awesome, and the theater has more than just regular movies, it has the Rocky Horror Picture show. I was a proud member of the kickstarter to help this theater go digital, because the loss of this amazing gem of a place would have been heartbreaking.The manager is an absolute sweetheart, and someone Im proud to call Momma. I feel more like a family member when I go here, whether its for Rocky, Friday Night Frights, the film festival, or just a regular film. Ive had friends married here, attended birthday parties here, and more. Ive never been paid to work there, but I am proud to help clean up after shows, because I feel like this theater belongs to its community in a way that modern theaters never will.

Good price

So freaking cute!!! Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!

Suotzi kouul uthi. Thanks again affordable. We always enjoy, Your staff is 80% kind, a grouch in every crowd.

Check out Friday Night Frights, its a ghoulishly good time.

Cute little local theater where you can see second run movies for cheap. Concessions are also decently priced.

What a great little Theater!!! Wow~the price was right and it was so clean and friendly! Were going back!!!

Neat experience, amazing structure inside of the theater.

Amazing place and it is real homey ️️️

Always a good neighborhood location.

If you attend films regularly, make sure to get a punch card. As you punch around the card you get free popcorn and at the end you get a free admission! This is on top of their already great prices; most shows are $6.This is the gem of Proctor. I hope it will remain safe amidst all the development in the neighborhood.

This is one of the best movie values around. Sure its old, sure its small, but versus what you pay for a ticket and concessions, and not having to deal with 10,000 whining mall rats, it is top notch.We even rented out the whole place for our sons birthday last year and brought our own movie to watch. How cool is that?The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Do not go here, and do not tell your friends about it. I want it all to myself. I kid; I kid.

Super cool little joint! Attended a private viewing of a movie here the screen was great, the stage is fun, staff was super-friendly absolutely recommend!

One of the best movie experiences one can find in Washington. Nice old theater with old time charm. Amazing staff, great prices, yummy snacks, double features, how can you beat that?

One of my favorite places to visit when i come to the Tacoma area. I love the feel of the building itself you can feel the history. Cheap movies with great people operating the theatre.

Neighborhood movie theater. Plays movies that are about to come out on DVD, watch them on big screen one more time!Sensible pricing, great $20 date.
