How to Check Showtimes and Buy Tickets for Blue Mouse Theatre

Updated

To see what's playing and get tickets for the Blue Mouse Theatre, use the showtime listings on bluemousetheatre.com: the homepage's "Now Playing" section shows the current film with its day-by-day times, and the "Upcoming" list shows dated screenings with a "Tickets" link beside each one. Pick the date and time you want, follow that entry's Tickets link, and complete the purchase on the page it opens. Always confirm against the site's latest listing before you go, since schedules change.

Where the showtimes appear

The site presents schedules in two places, and they serve different purposes:

Section What it shows How to use it
Now Playing at The Blue Mouse Theatre The current feature, with its weekly pattern of evening and matinee times and its rating Check this first if you want to see whatever is playing right now
Upcoming A dated list of future screenings and events, each with a time and a "Tickets" entry Use this to plan a specific date or a special event

The homepage also points to an "Upcoming Showings" page described as the place for all upcoming showtimes, so treat that page as the fuller schedule when the homepage list looks short.

Step by step: from listing to ticket

  1. Open the homepage at bluemousetheatre.com and look at "Now Playing" for the current film. In the listing captured here, that film is Sense & Sensibility (rated PG), with evening shows at 7:00 pm Saturday through Monday and matinees at 3:45 pm Saturday and Sunday.
  2. Scan the "Upcoming" list for the date you want. Each entry pairs a title with a date and time — for example, Sense & Sensibility on October 30, 2026 at 3:45 pm and again at 7:00 pm.
  3. Choose the exact screening, not just the film. The same movie often has several entries on one day, so match the date and time carefully.
  4. Select the "Tickets" link attached to that entry. It opens the purchase flow for that specific showing.
  5. Complete the purchase on the page that opens. The site references ticket purchases but does not publish prices or accepted payment methods, so confirm those details during checkout rather than assuming.
  6. Verify before traveling. Re-check the listing on the day of the show, since the schedule you saw earlier may have been updated.

Expected result: you hold a ticket for a specific title, date, and time, and you know which entrance time to plan around.

Reading the schedule correctly

A few patterns in the listings are easy to misread:

  • Times repeat across days. A 7:00 pm show on Friday does not mean the same time applies all week; check each dated entry.
  • Matinees and evenings are separate entries. A 3:45 pm matinee and a 7:00 pm evening show on the same day are two different tickets.
  • Special events sit in the same list as regular films. The schedule mixes first-run and second-run films with monthly events such as the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Friday Night Frights, plus one-off happenings like a silent cinema program with Michael Sullivan or a sponsored Batman Lego Movie ice cream social. These may have different timing or admission arrangements, so read the individual entry rather than assuming standard film pricing.
  • Some entries show no Tickets link. In the listing captured here, the sponsored Batman Lego Movie event on November 7 at 11:00 am appears without one. If an event has no ticket link, check the Upcoming Showings page or contact the theatre directly.

What else the venue tells you

The Blue Mouse opened in Tacoma's Proctor District in 1923 and describes itself as the oldest continuously operating theater in Washington state, seating 205. It shows first-run and second-run releases alongside curated events, and the space is rented for private and public gatherings such as birthday parties, film festivals, concerts, and speakers. If you are planning a group event rather than a single screening, that rental use is worth knowing before you buy individual seats.

Common snags

  • Looking only at the homepage. The "Upcoming Showings" page is described as the complete schedule; the homepage list may be partial.
  • Assuming a film's run length. The listings show dated screenings, not an open-ended run, so buy for a date that is actually listed.
  • Expecting published prices. The site does not state ticket prices or payment options; those appear, if at all, in the purchase flow.
  • Missing a same-day second show. If your first-choice time is sold out or wrong for your plans, check whether a second entry exists that day before giving up.
