| Introduction | The building that now houses the Heirloom Arts Theatre was built around 1850. It originally opened as a vaudeville venue called the Princess Theatre and its surviving flyers and advertisements portray a colorful history. When motion pictures arrived, the Princess was transformed and its name changed to the Empress Theatre in time to host a preview of D.W. Griffith's groundbreaking film "America" in 1924. The Palace and the Empress became side-by-side movie theatres owned by Warner Bros. and were a focal point of activity in downtown Danbury. Building further on the renovations done by the Empress Ballroom staff, the Heirloom Arts Theatre continues the spaces long tradition of music and other performing arts as well as motion pictures and visual art showcases in a cafe lounge atmosphere. We are Danbury's artistic and cultural alternative continuing the legacy of the space, a space that is a true heirloom of the past. |
| Interests | Heirloom Arts Theatre is located at 155 Main Street, Suite 103 in Danbury, CT. 06810 - We are actually located around the back of 155 Main Street and we don't have a sign out on Main street yet, so if you are looking for us you have to walk down "Palace Walk" an old timey looking alley, and we are the last door on you right. If you are driving, turn down Keeler Street from Main Street and park in the first or second lot on your left. It used to be The Empress Ballroom, but they closed. Now, its going to be a new era. Here's the plan: Movie theatre, bar, live shows. |
