Plaza Theatre, Historic theatre in Palm Springs, California, US

The Plaza Theatre is a theatre at 128 South Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs, California, anchoring La Plaza, a streetside shopping center opened in 1936. It has stood dormant since 1989 and is owned by the City of Palm Springs, with a restoration project managed by the Palm Springs Plaza Theatre Foundation.

The theater opened in 1936 with the premiere of the film 'Camille' and quickly became a venue for live radio broadcasts featuring well-known entertainers of the time. It went on to become a long-standing fixture in the city's entertainment life over the following decades.

The theatre anchors La Plaza, a streetside shopping center opened in 1936 and among the first planned shopping centers in Southern California. Its stage hosted world premieres of the musicals My Fair Lady and The Music Man, and in the 1940s Jack Benny, Bob Hope and Amos 'n' Andy broadcast radio shows from here. The building has been dormant since 1989 and awaits restoration.

The theatre stands at 128 South Palm Canyon Drive, within La Plaza, a 1936 shopping center. It is owned by the City of Palm Springs and closed to the public while restoration, set to begin in summer 2023, is carried out; visitors can view the exterior from the street.

The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, staged here from 1990 to 2014, was created by television producer Riff Markowitz, known for The Hitchhiker and The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. Its cast included Dorothy Kloss, billed as the World's Oldest Showgirl. A 1998 documentary about the troupe, Still Kicking, directed by Mel Damski, was nominated for an Oscar.
