Compass Theater began in 1997 as a non-profit organization. We have a joint partnership with the Petersburg School District and share the Wright Auditorium with them. Part of this partnership means we only hire teens who are students at the Middle or High Schools.

We reached our twenty year anniversary! 1997-2017. 

We are always looking for volunteers to be part of our adult board! Being a board member means free popcorn :)

What are the rules regarding rated R movies?

Rated R movies requires adult present for children under 17.  This means a parent or guardian must accompany the youth for the entire showing. Notes and phone calls will not be accepted.

All tickets sold for Rated R movies are at the Adult price of $10.00.

Can I bring my own food into the theater?

No you cannot. The products we sell at concessions should be enough to satisfy your movie munchies and are much easier to clean up than what you bring. Water bottles are ok.

Where should I dispose of my garbage?

Garbage cans are located in the lobby, and outside of each entrance into the theater. Thank you for cleaning up after yourselves!
