The Original Princess Cinema

“The Princess Cinemas is a true Canadian independent cinema, owner-operated and owner-programmed, with two urban locations in the heart of Waterloo, Ontario.

The ‘Original’ Princess Cinema.
Our first location – a single screen cinema – now called the Original Princess Cinema, is opened in 1985 at 6 Princess Street West, behind the Huether Hotel.
The Original Princess Cinema still maintains a “calendar art-house” programming model, which exhibits the best in international, independent and Canadian cinema, as well as festival hits, documentaries, mini-festivals, Hollywood classics, cult films and special series. Audiences can expect spicier programming at the Original Princess, and more mainstream bookings at the Princess Twin cinemas. The Original Princess also features our Live on Stage concert series. We publicize our offerings at the Original Princess Cinema with a bi-monthly newspaper guide, in addition to our web-site. The Original features comfortable high-back chairs and a truly funky, independent vibe. This 177-seat cinema is located on the second floor of an historic 19th century brewery building.”
