About Trustees Theater

Trustees Theater is a historic theater located at 216 East Broughton Street in Savannah, Georgia. Originally opened in 1946 as the Weis Theatre, it was later acquired and restored by the Savannah College of Art and Design, reopening under the Trustees Theater name in the late 1980s and 1990s. SCAD owns and operates the venue, which seats approximately 1,100 guests.

The theater is known as a cultural anchor on Savannah’s Broughton Street and one of only two operating movie houses remaining in the downtown historic district. Its event calendar includes film screenings, live performances, concerts, lectures, award ceremonies, fashion presentations, student events, community programming, and the annual SCAD Savannah Film Festival.

Trustees Theater is a centerpiece venue for the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, serving as a primary location for screenings, panels, premieres, and award presentations that draw major film and television talent.

How Much Do Tickets to Trustees Theater Cost?

Trustees Theater ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the screening or artist, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from standard film screenings to SCAD Savannah Film Festival events and live performances.

Film screenings can be approximately $8, with concessions around $2 each. These standard screenings reflect the theater’s old-style movie-house character and make it a welcoming downtown option for filmgoers.

Festival screenings, special events, and live performances are typically higher, with prices varying by event and programming. Marquee festival dates, premieres, award presentations, and high-demand live events can see stronger demand than regular screenings.

For high-demand events such as SCAD Savannah Film Festival screenings, buying earlier secures better availability. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining seats can become harder to find, especially for popular festival programming and special presentations.

Trustees Theater Seating Guide

Trustees Theater has a classic single-auditorium seating layout, with a sloped main floor oriented toward the stage and screen. Because the room is built like a historic cinema, seat choice is mainly about balancing proximity, central sightlines, and your preferred distance from the performance or screen.

Best Seats at Trustees Theater

• Best value: Main floor seating farther back can be a strong option for guests who want a full view of the stage and screen while staying within a practical budget.
• Closest to the action: Front rows of the main floor put you nearest to the stage, making them ideal for guests who want maximum proximity during live performances, presentations, and festival appearances.
• Best overall experience: Center main-floor seats generally offer the best sightlines to the stage and screen, balancing comfortable viewing distance with the theater’s classic auditorium atmosphere.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy.

Getting Ready for Your Trustees Theater Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a downtown historic-district theater where parking, walking routes, and Broughton Street foot traffic can shape your arrival.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Downtown parking and Broughton Street foot traffic can be heavy on busy event nights, particularly during festival periods, so give yourself extra time before the screening or performance.
• Wear the right footwear. Trustees Theater is in Savannah’s historic district, and many guests walk from street parking, garages, hotels, or nearby dining areas. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Festival periods and popular downtown events can make parking and pedestrian traffic heavier than usual, so plan a wider arrival window.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
