Built in 1925, the La Grange Theatre was originally a live theatre bringing the most popular acts of that time to La Grange. As the entertainment industry changed, the theatre was converted to motion pictures in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. In 1988, a third screen was added and finally a fourth screen in 1994. In 2004, the theatre was purchased with a vision to clean up and renovate the theat
re into a unique and fresh experience...an experience that the local community could be proud of and support. The cornerstone of this experience was to provide friendly, guest oriented team members who were ready to serve you. The downtown theatre is an important part of the local community and, with the improvement plan already under way, the theatre’s place in La Grange and in the western suburbs will be solidified for years. The beginning stages of the work involving two of the four viewing rooms was completed by mid-June 2006. The main focus of the work had been to improve the seats and the sound. The remainder of the project was completed, including the lobby and restrooms, in early 2007. In May 2022, the theatre reopened with four newly remodeled auditoriums and the most up-to-date amenities, including luxury heated recliner seating and 7.1 surround sound.
