Casa Mañana, Theatre in Cultural District, Fort Worth, United States.
Casa Mañana is a theatre in the Cultural District of Fort Worth, Texas, with two distinct performance spaces inside the same building. The main stage handles large productions, while the Reid Cabaret Theatre is a smaller room set up for dinner theatre with tables and a bar.
The theatre was founded in 1936 as an open-air venue for the Texas Centennial celebrations, originally built as a round tent-style structure. Over the following decades it was rebuilt and transformed into the permanent indoor building that stands in the Cultural District today.
The name Casa Mañana means "House of Tomorrow" in Spanish, reflecting the optimism of 1936 when it opened for the Texas Centennial. The original complex combined a restaurant with the theatre, seating 4,000 people for dinner and shows. Today the venue stages Broadway series productions, children's shows and cabaret acts.
The building has on-site parking available on a first-come basis, so arriving a little early is a good idea. Hearing assistance devices are available for those who need them, and the staff can help you find the right section for your type of show.
The original 1936 Casa Mañana was built by Broadway producer Billy Rose with the largest revolving stage of its time, encircled by a water moat. Fountains sprayed water onto a wall that served as a curtain for the stage. The complex, which included a restaurant, could seat 4,000 people for dinner and shows.
