Uptown Theater at Grand Prairie

Located 14 miles west of Dallas and 15 miles east of Fort Worth, Grand Prairie is bisected by the western fork of the Trinity River. Originally an Indian Trading Post and a stop on the stage coach line from Dallas to Fort Worth, Grand Prairie was founded in 1863 as Dechman after its founder Alexander McRae Dechman. The name changed to Grand Prairie in 1877, and it was incorporated as a city in 1902. Uptown Theater is a fully restored 1950s theater and performing arts center in Grand Prairie. Rich with history and abounding with activity, this classically hip venue hosts concerts, plays, musicals, theater camps and weddings. Charming and enchanting visitors with its playful 1950s ambiance and professional performances, Uptown Theater also is home to the Grand Prairie Arts Council and Texas Family Musicals.
