Warnors Center 4.68

Warnors Center for the Performing Arts, located in downtown Fresno, is a 501 c3 NP Community Benefit Organization, and a National Historic Landmark.

Warnors Center for the Performing Arts consists of three venues: The Theatre, Star Palace, and Franks Place. Check out our website at www.warnors.org to learn which of these are available for private and public events, or call our office at 264-2848. We pride ourselves on serving the ENTIRE community's entertainment needs, and have hosted a wide array of events.

It is said that as a 13 year old boy, Frank Caglia, bought the first movie ticket ever sold at Warnors. As an adult, Mr. Caglia bought this theatre in 1973 from the City of Fresno, at which time it was doomed to be torn down—like so many historic buildings.

Today, Warnors relies mainly on our many volunteers, private donations, and the funds generated from our events to preserve this historical Fresno landmark. A new generation of students, volunteers, patrons, and donors have fallen in love with its grandeur and charm.
