The Saguaro Theatre opened in 1948, for the Harkins chain. Now independently operated, this single-screen movie house was restored in around 2006, and continues to show first-run movies today, including weekend matinees. The theater also hosts live entertainment, including Western melodramas, during Wickenburg’s annual Gold Rush Days.

Congrats to the new owner of the Saguaro. I know you’ll retain the historical value and beauty of this gem.
The May 29, 1948, issue of Boxoffice reported from Wickenburg that the Saguaro Theatre “…was opened here recently by Dwight ‘Red’ Harkins in association with the Nace interests of Phoenix.” The item said that Harkins had designed the theater himself.

What great memories. I’m so glad to see the theatre still operating and in great condition. My brother and I spent many Friday nights at the double feature while parents went to dinner at Gold Nugget or the Frontier Inn. No movie was off limits so long as you paid your $3 dollars at the door. Oh, and don’t try to sneak in cheaper circle K candy purchased during intermission. Many thanks to the Ways (owners at the time) for running a great theatre. I truly loved that place.
