OUR STAGE, SEATS, DOORS, AND HEARTS ARE WAITING FOR YOU!
The DeSoto Theatre remains closed for large gatherings due to the Covid 19 pandemic. But following all state guidelines and CDC protocols, we have reopened for small gatherings and rentals.
We look forward to the day when we can welcome our performers and audience and bring joy to our community once again through arts and entertainment. Meanwhile, please consider the DeSoto for your business meetings, bridal or baby shower, birthdays, anniversaries, and small weddings. Our auditorium is perfect for socially distancing while showing presentations or even watching a movie!
Our thoughts, prayers, and love go to everyone as our world continues to face this unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic.
Thank you for your continued support of the The DeSoto and the Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation.
DESOTO THEATRE MOVIES: 2009 & 2019
FOX THEATRE INSTITUTE AND THE DESOTO
The DeSoto is honored to be only one of three theatres featured in Atlanta's Fox Theatre Institute's 10th Anniversary movie. We're thankful for FTI's mentorship and support during the past decade as they continue to engage with us and other historic theatres, "helping revitalize communities one theater at a time."
