After closing in 2014, the theatre underwent an extensive, multimillion‑dollar restoration led by the Plaza Theatre Foundation and the City of Palm Springs, culminating in a grand reopening in December 2025. Designed by architects Schenck & Williams, the theatre is an exemplary “atmospheric-style” venue—a style popular in the early 20th century that transformed interiors into immersive environments. Key features include: Spanish Village–inspired interior façades carved into the side walls A midnight‑blue ceiling dotted with twinkling “stars”, evoking an outdoor evening sky Garden‑style walls and faux Spanish casitas with softly lit windows An outdoor courtyard lobby, designed to recreate the excitement of grand Hollywood theaters and take advantage of Palm Springs’ warm climate
