The Tarlton Theatre

The Tarlton Theatre is an Art Deco cinema and performance venue in Green Bay with one of the largest original movie screens in the city. It combines entertainment spaces with a restaurant and bar areas that serve visitors during events.

The building began as an auto dealership in 1925 and was converted to a single-screen cinema in 1941 under architect Perry Crosier. This transformation marked the start of its role as an entertainment venue in the city.
