Rental Information

Whether you are planning a production for 400 or an intimate gathering for 30, the Uptown Theater can accommodate your special event with endless configurations that highlight our eclectic and retro venue.

The Uptown Theater underwent a $5 million renovation by the City of Grand Prairie in 2008 that preserved its retro charm but 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.
