The Historic Embassy Theatre


 
First opening in 1928, the Embassy Theatre in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana has operated for 96 years, bringing music, shows, and other forms of entertainment for families and residents of the city. Over the extended lifetime of the Embassy building, it has undergone many various renovations, one of those being The Historic Embassy Theatre Vision Project. With Weigand Construction leading this job, more than 40,000 square feet of space was redeveloped, repurposed, and restored to ensure the upkeep of the facility. Some additional features that came with this project included:
 

  • A 2-Story Ballroom
  • Rooftop Garden Seating
  • Extra Space for More Guests
  • Improved Floor Plan
  • Structural Improvements

 
These changes and upgrades allowed the Embassy Theatre to better handle increasing demand for larger event spaces, enhance support areas, increase administrative capacity, and offer a wonderful guest experience for patrons of all ages. With every restoration project Weigand has overseen throughout the years, the landmark has maintained its place on the National Registry of Historic Places. We are a proud partner of the Embassy Theatre and look forward to seeing them continue enriching the community in the years ahead.

“ Folks have said this is the best building in the entire state, that it's brought Fort Wayne up as far as regional appeal and standards, and that there's nothing like it in probably the Tri-State Area.
