Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie
- Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie
The Nokia Theatre is a 28.5 acre live entertainment venue located in Grand Prairie, Texas, a suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. Known as the theatre of the future for it's state of the art facilities, the theatre seats 6,350 people. The theater opened in February 2002 and has featured numerous musical acts, theatre shows, comedy shows and family events.
The theatre was built by Anschutz Entertainment Group, a Los Angeles based company that built the Staples Center in Los Angeles and has been busy developing a new state of the art entertainment complex in Downtown Los Angeles.
In May 2002 Nokia Theatre Grand Prairie hired Dallas artist Cabe Booth to paint oil portraits of the visiting acts and personalities. The portraits are signed by the performers and then hung on display in the backstage area and administrative office area. In 2007 the venue moved a small portion of the now over 300 (and growing) 4'x4' paintings into the main foyer along with the downstairs entry to the private suites.
