For over a century, The Colonial Theatre has been a downtown Belfast cornerstone for film, live performance, and community connection. We are grateful to everyone who buys a ticket. Those fees currently cover a big portion of our annual budget. But contributions from friends like you are now essential for the Colonial to thrive.
A tax-deductible gift from you today will help ensure we can provide each year:
- hundreds of blockbuster and indie films
- dozens of live events
- community gatherings
- educational programs
Together, we can keep the Colonial thriving for the next hundred years – not just as a historic venue, but as a living, breathing center for the arts in Midcoast Maine!
The Colonial Theatre is owned and operated by Hawthorne Arts Collaborative (formerly Belfast Theatre Arts Company), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization rooted in the legacy of the theater and its continued operation. EIN #93-2224028

Our back steps don't need to be as flashy - but we do need them to be safe. This is why we are embarking on a project to renovate the back steps of the Colonial Theatre. These stairs act as an emergency exit in the event of an emergency, for patrons in all three cinemas in the building.
We are setting the goal to raise $10,000 dollars to support the renovation of these back steps, including the doors and door hardware, before this winter. Every dollar that you are able to donate helps us to provide a safe environment for generations of memories yet to be made.
