The Princess Theatre - Center For The Performing Arts in Decatur, Illinois, originally opened in 1928 as a Vaudeville house and movie palace. Designed in the atmospheric style popular at the time, it features ornate architectural details including a lavishly decorated lobby and auditorium. After periods of decline and closure, a substantial restoration project was completed in 2018, revitalizing the theatre as a multi-purpose performing arts venue.

The venue now hosts a variety of events including concerts, theatrical productions, dance performances, and community events. It serves as an important cultural hub for the Decatur area and maintains its historic character while providing modern amenities for both performers and audiences.
