About the Historic DeSoto Theatre
History
When the DeSoto opened in August 1929, it was one of the seven largest movie venues in Georgia.
It was an instant success and the pride of Rome. The Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation maintains and preserves this legacy for future generations.
About the Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation
The Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2008 to secure the future of the iconic 1929 theatre in downtown Rome.
We are committed to preserving the tradition and legacy that is the Jewel of Broad Street. It is our mission to usher in the movie house that introduced us to “talkies” into the age of “selfies” and social media.
Next year, the DeSoto Theatre will celebrate 90 years of downtown entertainment, the only theatre left in Downtown Rome’s once-thriving arts district.
