The Uptown Theatre opened its doors on August 29, 1936 with a one-day showing of Lionel Barrymore in “The Voice Of Bugle Ann” along with a special performance by the city’s high school band, comedian Edgar Jones appearing in-person, and special addresses by then-Mayor B.J. Thomas. Otherwise, no extra short subjects were added.
Chris1982, we have recently transferred the Historic Theater into a non-profit foundation. The URL recently purchased is www.waltdisneyhometowntheater.org The site will be up this week. Crowd funding campaign to start shortly. Have plans to upgrade theater and make more like Walt’s dream.
Marceline Theatre, that is a dead URL
To let everyone know, the theater has been playing movies for a long time. It is not selling tickets to the public, it is only doing free showings to the public. The theater is under new ownership. The goal going forward is to renovate this beautiful historic theater and the Bed & Breakfast attached. The website has been taken down and will open shortly under a different URL. Not certain but it may be: www.WaltDisneyHometownHistoricTheater.org or com. THANK YOU!
The Uptown is closed. This is what they say on their website, Thank you for your patronage. No more shows until further notice. Their website
