SGS Supper Club LLC, a company co-owned by actor and writer Taylor Sheridan, is the new owner of the New Isis Theatre, a Main Street fixture that dates to 1914, according to property records. The company remains in the design phase but intends to transform the space into a 1920s-style Texas supper club, the Fort Worth Report has said.

The purchase adds a high-profile name to a building that has been rebuilt, renovated and revived repeatedly over more than a century. Named for the Egyptian goddess, the theater has cycled through lives as a movie house and other uses, and its most recent renovation was followed by a sudden closure in 2023 that left questions lingering about its future.

Paul Paine, president of Fort Worth Stockyards, Inc., said Sheridan's involvement has stirred curiosity about what the property might become.

"I assume he'll come up with something creative," Paine said.

For longtime North Texans, the building's story has been one of ups and downs. Brad Humphreys told NBC 5 in 2023 that watching the theater decline and then seeing someone finally take it on and restore it was a welcome turn.

"Always seeing it, and then watching it run down, and then seeing somebody finally taking hold of it and redoing it was very good," Humphreys said at the time.

Some who spent time inside the Isis hope the next transformation preserves pieces of its past. Ryan Bijan, who launched his Cowtown Movie Classics film series at the theater, said the venue had a character all its own.

"I do think the Isis as a cinema had a one-of-a-kind vibe," Bijan said. He said he hopes the building's next owner keeps some connection to its movie-theater history.

"I do hope he keeps the stage and the screen in some capacity," Bijan said. "Taylor Sheridan is an incredibly talented filmmaker, writer. I think he certainly understands the importance of film as a medium. So hopefully, I hope deep down inside, that he can also appreciate the space's use as a cinema in some capacity."

Whatever ultimately happens, Bijan said he is glad the final credits haven't rolled.

"They did such an incredible job restoring it to its original glory, and it's such a beautiful facade and sort of a landmark within the Fort Worth Stockyards," he said of the previous owners. "I just know I'd be happy to see the space live on in any capacity."

For a theater that has lived many lives over more than a century, another one may now be ahead.
