Egyptian Theatre

Egyptian Theatre in Park City, UT. Built in 1926, the Egyptian Theatre opened on Christmas Day as a cornerstone of Park City’s cultural landscape during the height of the global "Egyptomania" craze sparked by the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb. Supervised by an Egyptologist, the venue's distinctive architecture features intricate lotus leaf designs, scarabs, and hieroglyphics, making it one of only two remaining Egyptian-style theatres in Utah. Over the past century, it transitioned from hosting vaudeville and Park City's very first "talkies" to becoming a historic, marquee hub for the world-renowned Sundance Film Festival. Today, the nonprofit Park City Performances preserves and operates the theater, serving as a live entertainment venue that bridges the city's mining-era past with modern performing arts.
