The Warner Egyptian Theatre operated as such from 1925 through circa 1940.
Circa 1940, the theatre was renamed the Uptown Theatre, a name under which it operated until 1987. From 1987, the building was used as a warehouse until December 2002, when restoration efforts began.
After restoration, the theatre will reopen as the Oasis Historical Theatre.
