The Palace Theatre is a 1926 movie palace in downtown Canton, restored in the 1990s and still in operation as a performing arts venue. The interior is ornate in the manner of 1920s picture houses — gilded plasterwork, a grand chandelier, a proscenium arch, and a stage large enough for touring Broadway productions. The theatre seats around 1,800 people.
The Palace presents a varied programme: concerts, theatrical productions, touring musicals, and occasional classic film screenings. It's one of the focal points of downtown Canton's gradual cultural revival, and its restoration helped anchor investment in the surrounding streets. If you're in Canton for an evening, checking the programme is a good way to see the building and have something to do at the same time.
