Seneca Theatre held its grand opening on Friday, September 20th, 1940. It boasted a main floor plus balcony seating. The interior was decorated with native Seneca motifs, such a ceremonial masks and belt designs. In 1984, the theatre was taken over by Canadian Odeon, and twinned into two theatres; the main floor could screen one film and the former balcony could screen another.
Today, the Seneca Queen theatre offers both movies and live entertainment.
