About The Historic Uptown Theater

Whether you are planning a wedding ceremony for 400 people in the Theater or an intimate birthday party for 30 people, Uptown Theater can accommodate your special event with endless configurations that highlight our eclectic and retro venue. 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. The Uptown Theater is the perfect combination of 1950s glam and modern luxury!
