The Jayhawk Theatre, an architectural masterpiece and historical gem, was created as a high-tech entertainment center and Topeka’s premiere deluxe movie palace. Situated in the heart of Downtown Topeka, it holds the distinction of being Kansas’ Official State Theatre and is the sole remaining historic theater in the Capital City.

With a fervent group of board members, community leaders, citizens, and supporters at the helm, the Jayhawk’s former splendor will be restored while simultaneously transforming it into an ultimate destination for live entertainment, dance, film, rentals, and more! Its renovation not only pays homage to its historical significance, but also breathes fresh life and purpose into the iconic structure.

The theater will play an essential role in the revitalization of Downtown Topeka, contributing to its growth, economic development, vibrancy, and quality of life. Though the journey requires ingenuity and unwavering commitment, the dream is achievable, and the time has come. The wait is over.
