The Holly Theatre originally opened in 1928 as a Vaudeville and movie palace. Designed by architect Jack Newell, it served as a central entertainment venue for Medford for several decades showcasing films and live performances. Following a period of decline and closure in the late 20th century, the theatre underwent extensive renovations completed in 2023. These renovations aimed to restore many of its original architectural features while updating it with modern amenities. The restored Holly Theatre now functions as a multi-purpose venue hosting concerts, theatrical productions, film screenings and community events.
