It was also used for the Mickey Mouse Club and Miss Alabama pageant until 1987, when it changed hands and became the Alabama Theatre for the Performing Arts. Today, the Theatre hosts not only films, but more than 300 events every year.

The original look of the classic theatre was restored in 1998; many original features were repaired, but the theatre was also brought into the 21st century. The theatre is home to Alabama’s highly prized Mighty Wurlitzer Organ and can accommodate almost 2,500 people.
