The theater was converted to a performing arts center in 1976 and has been completely renovated for live theatrical/concert use.
 With the arrival of theater manager David Allgood in 2003, the Bama has become a sought-after venue for touring artists.
 The movie fare at The Bama was also revamped, creating the Bama Art House Film Series, featuring independent, foreign, and documentary movies.
 Past screenings have included Boyhood, Moonrise Kingdom, Turn Me On, Dammit, Room, and the world premier of John Sayles's Honeydripper, which was filmed in Alabama.
 Sayles attended the one-night screening, which drew an audience of nearly 900 people.
The Bama continues to be the premier performing arts venue in Tuscaloosa, boasting over 300 nights per year of concerts, movies, dance, and live theater.

The central panel of the theater marquee was replaced with an LED screen in March 2017.
