Gloria Theatre Renovation Project

A donation to your nonprofit Gloria Theatre is the most effective way for you to support the arts and boost our local economy. Annually, nearly 18,000 people attend concerts, movies, and other events at the Gloria, stimulating Urbana’s and Champaign County’s retail commerce more than any other local business. With your help, we can double the number of visitors in years to come!

Since 2014, our nonprofit Gloria Theatre has been blessed by more than 16,000 donations, from $1 to $70,000. These awesome supporters have saved this historic community treasure and made possible Gloria’s many wonderful restorations and improvements.

Yes, we are once again a very popular movie theatre and we’ve launched our “Stars on Stage” live concerts, but the dream is far from complete. Much is yet to be done to become a state-of-the-art performing arts center, one that can host A-list artists and Broadway tours.

  • Expand the theatre to include a balcony and several much-needed spaces

  • Upgrade electric and add theatrical lighting and sound equipment

  • Give the front of the theatre a face-lift and a new marquee

  • Ongoing repairs & upgrades like a new roof, new HVAC, & adding staff required to support the growing business

Giving to the Gloria is your way of supporting the mission to “Reach, Restore and Revive” our community!

Please consider making a donation to help us reach for the STARS! You can donate securely right here, on our Facebook page, in person at the theatre or you can send a check addressed to:

Gloria Theatre, 216 S. Main St., Urbana, OH 43078. Thank you for your support!

Giving is not just about making a donation, it’s about making a difference. Kathy Calvin, poet

Urbana’s Gloria Theatre has a rich history that began near the beginning of the twentieth century.

Today, GrandWorks is renovating and transforming this community treasure into a modern entertainment venue for movies and live theater.
