History of the Palace Theatre :
The Palace theatre opened in November of 1938 and played an important part in the lives of many people and the community. The Palace is fully restored now and is a multi-use community auditorium and visitors' center. Originally the Palace was intended to be an entertainment center and we have stayed true to that historic vision, featuring live entertainment in variety of musical styles. We host concerts of Jazz, Blues, Country, Bluegrass and Rock just to name a few. The Palace provided the public with a distraction from everyday life to the pubic during the difficult war years and still provides a high quality "something to do" for fun seekers of all ages in the Crossville, Cumberland Plateau and the East TN area.
- First play, Perils of Pinocchio, performed 1963
- Playhouse building completed 1965
- A 25,000 square foot addition made to building
- Nearly 100,000 people attend performances each year
Some other benefits include:
- Professional sound system
- Theatre class lighting
- A newly acquired Baby Grand Piano
- Acoustic surfacing
- Full Kitchen
- Pleasant, well lit café
- Internet connectivity and Wireless
Still, the Palace Theatre is not only what it used to be, it is much more. The Palace is also a wonderfully functional community center, meeting hall and multi-media facility, suitable for sales or training presentations, committee meetings or even regional trade shows.

Melissa: I love the photo of the theatre! I'm really into history and this is an interesting one to share with those clients who are into the arts.
Melissa,
Looks like a great place to get some entertainment and nice architecture. Love the old theaters!
Melissa,
It sounds like a very beautiful place. It reminds me very much of the Empire Theatre here in Belleville. My broker purchased it and had it refurbished a few years ago and now there are many live events there as well.
All of our office meetings and functions are also held there due to the fact it is only a few doors down from our office and is owned by your broker.
