About the Ellis Theatre:

Originally built in 1926, the Ellis Theatre will be completely restored to serve as a performance theater and multi-purpose event space. The Ellis will provide support to the Philadelphia-Neshoba County Arts Council for plays and performances. Construction on the Ellis Theatre stage will include gothic detailing and millwork with tracery wood detailing. The theater's original marquee, which was recently reconditioned, will remain at the entrance.
