The theater, originally built in 1948, reopened in 1995 as a nonprofit Christian venue. Since then, it’s welcomed over 400,000 guests and helped launch artists like MercyMe, Switchfoot, and Jeremy Camp.
Founder Tony Nasrallah says the venue was created to bring hope to the community. “We believed God could use a music venue to change lives and an entire neighborhood.”
Ahead of the weekend celebration, a free Night of Worship will be held Thursday, July 31, featuring Gabriel Storm.
Saturday’s event will include music, food, local artists, and a chance to connect with the team behind the venue’s 30-year mission.
