Cinderella

 Located on Front Street in downtown Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the Historic Saenger Theater first opened in 1929 as a vivid example of “movie palace” architecture—built at a time when silent films and vaudeville were in their heyday. Designed with Art Deco and neoclassical influences, it features decorative details, a grand lobby, and a theater organ that evokes its early entertainment roots. Over time, it has undergone restoration and refurbishment, preserving its historic character while bringing in updated comfort for audience experience. As a staple of the community, the Saenger anchors downtown Hattiesburg and participates in local culture through concerts, film, dance, special events, and walking-distance amenities.
