The Ellis Theater Concerts 2026-2027

A beautiful theater in downtown Philadelphia Mississippi. It’s the first phase of a project that country music star Marty Stuart is building in his hometown. Once complete the Congress of Country Music will host Marty’s largest private collection of Country Music memorabilia. We were lucky and got to see the legend Dolly Parton perform for a fundraiser last weekend that raised 1.6 million dollars for the project. The theater has been completely restored and seats 500. There are three sections on the floor, a balcony and three side boxes. It’s such a wonderful and intimate theater to take in a performance.

A Genuine Old South Grand ol Opry House. Its Beautiful inside. Comfortable seating great concessions. The Management and Volunteer staff are courteous and professional. The Arts council puts on Amazing shows. Marty Stuart puts on Amazing concerts .It's a safe family friendly venue with excellent security. Its the Jewel of Philadelphia MS.

Beautiful theatre that has been totally renovated by the Marty Stuart foundation.

Marry Stuart and his folks have done a tremendous job preparing the Ellis Theater to live on for a long time. I attended the 4 shows December 2022, opening celebration, wow, these folks know how to put on a show. I'm from West Plains MO, and traveled to Philadelphia MS. Southern hospitality is REAL. Go to a show or 4 here, you will not regret it. The Pearl River, Natchez Trail, Choctaw people are awesome. Quit putting it, go to some shows !!

A great venue to see a show. The theater is so beautiful and the sound is GREAT!! There are some incredible shows here.
