The Wilmette Theatre

         The Wilmette Theatre was established in 1913 as a single-screen movie theatre.  It originally opened under the name "The Central Theatre," and unfortunately, did not last very long. The Theatre closed for nearly a decade and reopened in 1930 under new ownership and a new name: The Wilmette Theatre. In 1989 the Theatre was divided into two spaces, allowing for the opportunity to offer more showings. The Theatre has played host to many fabulous movies and live events over the years and is excited to continue  the tradition.

         A more recent renovation occurred and the older seats in the Mirza Theatre, were replaced with more comfortable rocking seats. The second theatre was converted to a  "Living Room," with flexible seating made up of cozy loveseats and armchairs. The "Living Room" also features a large stage and a sound and lighting system. The Theatre hosts many live events including musical performances, comedy, private parties, and so much more. 

        As a Non For Profit space, the Wilmette Theatre is funded by grants, donations, and visits from our lovely patrons.
