For more than 100 years, the Gloria Theatre has been a vital part of Urbana’s history and culture. The theatre opened as Clifford Theatre in 1904 and was destroyed by fire in 1941 before being rebuilt as the Gloria Theatre on December 25th, 1941. It is one of only five theaters built by Warren Grimes that still stands today. As a Grandworks project, we are dedicated to restoring this historic landmark theater so it can be enjoyed for generations to come.
