Activity Description
The historic Peery's Egyptian Theater is an 800 seat community performing arts center, located on Washington Blvd in downtown Ogden, presenting live musical and theatrical events as well as cinema.
Construction of the theater began in 1923 and the Egyptian officially opened on July 3, 1924. Built as a movie palace, the theater showed first-run movies well into the early 1980's but eventually closed in 1984. The Egyptian underwent a complete restoration and reopened on January 17, 1997, as a community performing arts center.
