News About This Theater
- Apr 2, 2007 — Fire At Historic Haltom Theater
Located in the Haltom City district to the northeast of Fort Worth, TX. The Haltom Theatre was opened on December 27, 1941 with Jack Benny in “Charlie’s Aunt”. It is a brown brick building with a neat red vertical sign spelling out “Haltom” in off-white letters. Since closing in the 1970’s it has been used as a video store, a pawn shop and a furniture store until 2007.
In 2017 it was being refurbished to reopened on December 31, 2018 with a program of concerts, movies and wrestling. That plan was delayed and it reopened in June 2019 as a live events center.

Hello MissRandi.The Haltom is now being used as a furniture store. They recently invited me in to look around and I am happy to say the building and Haltom sign remain in great shape.
