Trustees Theater

When Trustees Theater opened on Valentine’s Day 1946, it boasted all the trimmings of a top-line cinema of Hollywood’s golden age: a screen among the largest in the South, adjustable air conditioning, and the best “projection and sound devices,” as press coverage reported at the time. Eighty years later, SCAD continues this legacy of cutting-edge cinematic excellence. Following extensive restorations and renovations that modernized the theater while maintaining its original décor, the 1,105-seat theater now features state-of-the-art 4K projection and Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound. Open year-round, Trustees Theater is home to the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, as well as a frequent schedule of screenings, concerts, lectures, conferences, and live performances.
