About Us:
The Regent Theatre is a one-screen, art deco theater that first started showing movies in 1919. It is currently owned by the City of Allegan and features first-run, new release films in state of the art digital projection.
On the outside, the Regent boasts a glittering neon marquee that has acted as a beacon in historic downtown Allegan since its installation in the 1930s. On the backside of the brick building, a beautiful art deco-inspired mural painted by celebrated West Michigan artist José Narezo adorns the wall to create a unique picture-taking opportunity.
As you enter the chrome-handled doors into the tiled lobby, you're greeted by the glass-encased ticket booth, complete with a working, original ticket dispenser. Also on display is a fully restored 1950 Simplex XL Projector that was in use at the Regent until November of 2013. The scent of freshly popped popcorn will guide you to the old-fashioned concession stand where you can purchase quality snacks at a reasonable price. The Regent is known for its delicious popcorn, freshly popped before and during each show.
