Apollo's 2000 Theater

Designed by Alexander Levy as the Marshall Square Theater, this landmark venue showcased both vaudeville acts and movies when it opened in 1917. Levy gained recognition for designing the Douglas Park Auditorium and the Granada, among other renowned buildings. The theater began showing movies exclusively in 1936 and was remodeled by architect Roy B. Blass, who added a soaring Art Deco vertical sign to the building's classical revival façade. The theater, re-named Apollo's 2000, went through an extensive restoration and renovation in the 1990s. Truly grand inside and out, today the building is a vibrant hub for Latinx music, celebrations, and community events.
