Why go
The tall vertical sign makes this one of Uptown's clearest street landmarks, while the facade recalls the theater's 1939 rebuilding after a fire. Its earlier cinema history still shapes the building, but today's experience is a ticketed live performance. The Hennepin Avenue location also makes the exterior easy to include when exploring the West Lake Street corner nearby.
What to look for
- A tall vertical sign rises above the theater's Hennepin Avenue frontage.
- Art Moderne stonework and exterior roundels evoke travel and adventure.
Useful to know
- Check the current show calendar if you want to enter; regular film screenings are no longer the venue's main use.
- See the facade while walking Uptown, or allow a separate evening for a live event.
