Coleman Theatre, Historic theater in Miami, Oklahoma
The Coleman Theatre is a movie and performance venue featuring Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with ornate Louis XV interior design, gilded surfaces, and a grand staircase connecting multiple levels. The building accommodates various types of performances and public gatherings.
Built in 1929 by mining entrepreneur George Coleman, the theater was the largest entertainment venue between Dallas and Kansas City at that time. This investment reflected how wealthy business leaders shaped entertainment infrastructure in the region.
The theater continues to serve its original purpose with live stage productions, musical performances, and community events throughout the year. This active use keeps the venue at the heart of local cultural life.
The theater is located in the downtown area and easy to reach on foot, with clear signage from the town center. Visitors should call ahead to confirm current opening times and available tour options.
The building houses an original Wurlitzer pipe organ that mechanically rises from beneath the stage during musical performances. This dramatic effect is a rare feature that still operates in few theaters today.
