The theater was built in 1929 by Marcus Loew and designed by famed theater architect, John Eberson. The interior structure was fashioned after a Moorish castle featuring Mediterranean decor, including medieval carvings, authentic European antiques and Italian alabaster sculptures.
Among facilities of its size, the Civic is one of only five remaining atmospheric theaters in the country where patrons experience a twinkling star-lit sky and intermittent clouds moving across the horizon, all while sitting inside the auditorium.
In June 2001, the theatre closed its doors for the most comprehensive restoration and expansion project in its history. Over the course of the next 16 months, just over $19 million was spent bringing it up to modern performance and patron standards and restoring its 70-year old infrastructure.
