Princess Theatre

The Princess Theatre is a live entertainment venue that began life as a livery stable in the late 1880s. In 1919 it re-opened as a Vaudeville Theatre and grew from there to be a premier movie house. An Art Deco remodel in the 1940s added the iconic neon marquee and design touches inside to reflect the glamor of Hollywood in its hey dey. A Monthly Singer-Songwriter Series is held in the listening room (80 seating capacity 100 standing) while full concerts, comedy, dance, storytelling, magic, movies and more take place in our 677-seat main auditorium. We host artists in a diverse array of genres: Country, Southern Rock, Pop, Blues, Jazz, Folk and more.
