The Eagle Theater, located on the corner of Plum Street and Madison Street in Pontiac, first opened in 1939 with 500 seats. It closed in the mid-1980’s’s and was converted into a gym. Since then it became a skateboard shop.
In October 2015 it was refurbished and became The Eagle Performing Arts & Conference Center presenting live theatre and special events.
Though its Art Moderne-style marquee still is intact, the theater building looks to be quite a bit older than the marquee.

The Eagle Theatre has been refurbished and reopened as a dinner theatre for live shows by the Vermillion Players, a theatre company based in Pontiac, Illinois. The Gilders Association, which has its museum in downtown Pontiac, recently re-gilded the decorative elements. The theatre can be rented for private events. For more information check out:
