G R A N D ⟡ R E V E A L ! The American Theater you know and love recently got a much-deserved glow up✨, and she’s looking better than ever. The update starts from the ground up with brand-new carpeting, custom-designed by Whitney Rietz Designs to pull inspiration from the Theater’s existing Art Deco details and carry them throughout the space. And then there’s ☆ Stars Lounge. ☆ The newly reimagined space brings a fun, vibrant take on a retro cocktail lounge, complete with plush seating, a new tiled bar front, an 85" flat screen, and Sonos sound system.

From the iconic Ballroom and Cinema to a newly refreshed Stars Lounge, the American Theater gives you multiple event spaces under one roof, whether you’re planning a wedding reception, welcome party, after party, corporate event, or something entirely your own. And we like to make the rest easy. Tables, chairs, lounge furniture, flatware, glassware and serviceware are all included with your venue rental, plus our in-house culinary and bar team is right here to handle the food + drinks.

Same iconic theater. Fresh new look. Ready for its next act. 🎬
