Douglas Grand Theatre

Douglas Grand Theatre

The Grand Theatre in Douglas, Arizona opened in 1919. It was considered to be the largest and most beautiful theatre between Los Angeles, California and San Antonio, Texas. Ginger Rogers, Pavlova and John Philip Sousa to mention just a few performed on stage at the Grand Theatre. Originally, it also housed a Tea Room, a candy store and a barbershop. It was the site of many live stage productions, movies, and Douglas High School graduations.

This aging dowager of theatres has fallen on hard times over the years, having endured a collapsed roof due to plugged rain gutters and massive interior damage from the infiltrating water. However, the Grand is in the process of being restored to her original beauty and splendor. In addition to being listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Grand is also on the "Endangered List" of Historical Buildings that need immediate attention.
