A $1.5 million restoration project in the 1990s brought a return of the theater's original appearance, which was modeled after an Italian Renaissance courtyard.
Like other atmospheric theaters designed to give the appearance of being outdoors, stars twinkle over the heads of theatergoers while clouds appear to float by as well on the ceiling.
For years, the theater has featured independent and foreign films on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
And in the mid-1990s, the Performing Arts Series began featuring nationally known performers of music and theater.
The last show of the season of the Performing Arts Series was "A Night at the Oscars with Shirley Jones" on Thurday.
The theater is also home to performances by Florida Dance Theatre, professional dance company in Polk County.
