Schonell Cinemas & Live Theatre

St Lucia

Updated: Mar 08, 2025

The Schonell Theatre has closed until further notice.

Anyone bored with today’s Hollywood film themes and movie-going experiences generally should make tracks for the Schonell. Not only is this ’70’s built campus theatre and cinema the venue to find left-field, film noir and limited release alternative films, movie goers may get a bonus prequel of ghost with that film noir as it’s rumoured to be haunted.

After hours the spectre of a young woman in a long dress has been sighted by staff over the years roaming the dressing room and stage areas.
