The Princess Theatre Restoration Committee is proud to announce The Princess Theatre, after a multi million dollar renovation, will open the first week of December as a first run theater. We will be showing multiple first run movies daily. Come out and see a first run movie in a classic theater
The Princess is in the middle of a $3 million dollar renovation. The top floor is being converted to a new City Hall, the former commercial area will be a branch of a community college and The Princess will be showing first run movies, classic movies, concerts and live performances begining later this year. If I can figure out how to post photos, I will.
More good news for The Princess Theatre. A partnership has been reached with Wolf Theaters, a regional movie chain of Greensburg, Indiana to show first run movies along with classic films and live performances.
Restoration of The Princess Theatre will begin this fall with complete restoration to be completed by the end of 2017.
The Princess is now open for business on a limited basis. It has shown two movies and his preparing to show its third, Gone with the Wind on 26 Sept. The interior of the theatre has been demolished and the City is working to begin restoration of the interior and exterior.

A quick history of The Princess Theatre in Rushville, IN. The Princess was opened as part of the Masonic Hall complex in 1915. The northern third of the building was a bowling alley, the middle third was the theatre and the southern third was a post office. The Masonic Lodge occupied the upstaris space as it had until the fall of 2014.
In 1918, the theatre was closed to expand into the space occupied by the bowling alley. The Princess Theatre closed in the 1990’s.
The plan for renovation is that the former masonic temple upstairs will become the new Rushville City Hall and Council Chambers. The former post office and later retail store on the south side of the building will be a higher education facility (tennant to be named soon) and the Theatre will be restored. One other correction is that sound was installed in 1929 and the first talkie was “The Rainbow Man” shown on July 14.
After several starts and stops, renovation and restoration of The Princess Theatre Building is underway. This Article from the Rushville Republican provides some of the details. http://www.rushvillerepublican.com/news/renovations-on-princess-theatre-ongoing/article_82063e77-ecfa-5ae2-b494-e38e7aabe53b.html
