Grand Prairie’s Uptown Theater is a historic downtown landmark that is rich with history and abounding with activity! The Uptown Theater originally opened in 1950 as a movie hall, after closing their doors, the City of Grand Prairie purchased the theater and reopened as a multi-use arts center in 2008. Complete with art gallery space, STADIUM SEATING, and new and improved stage, The Uptown Theater is now host to a multitude of live performances, including concerts, live theater and dance.

Uptown Theater underwent a $5 million renovation by the City of Grand Prairie in 2007 that preserved its retro charm and added modern touches to bring the venue into the twenty-first century.
