About the Isis Theatre:

Opening May 21, 1914 as the impressive 400-seat Isis Theater, designed by architect Louis B. Weinman. Located in the Historic Stockyards district on the corner of 24th and N. Main Street in Fort Worth, the one-screen silent film house, pharmacy and the 12 rooms upstairs were sadly destroyed by a projection booth fire in 1935.

After closing in 1988 and sitting dormant for years, the site was purchased by Dr. Jeffrey Smith and his wife Debbie Garrett-Smith in 2017, which would be the kick off year for the comprehensive outside/inside renovations and restoration. The couple preserved any pieces that were salvageable. The doors finally reopened summer 2021.

Now Locals and Stockyard tourists can visit this historic theater and experience the excitement intended for this part of Fort Worth. This iteration introduces and prioritizes Live Performances as well as stating true to the history of the screening Classic Films. Downtown Cowtown at the Isis welcomes ALL visitors daily and reclaims the corner of 24th and N. Main Street as home for all things Entertainment in the Stockyards. Read more here!
