HISTORY
The Premier Theater (formerly Grand Theater) is part of Foxwoods Resort Casino, founded by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. Foxwoods opened as a bingo hall in 1986 and expanded into a full casino in 1992, growing into one of the largest casino resorts in the world at 9 million square feet. The Grand Theater was renamed Premier Theater as part of a venue rebranding effort to reduce guest confusion within the resort complex.
