Majestic Theatre

The Renaissance Revival theater features ornate decorative elements, including Corinthian columns, marble floors, and intricate plasterwork throughout its grand interior spaces.

Built in 1921 by architect John Eberson, the theater served as the flagship venue for Interstate Amusement Company and replaced an earlier structure destroyed by fire.

The theater transformed from a vaudeville and cinema venue to a performing arts center, hosting numerous entertainment acts ranging from Houdini to contemporary musical productions.

With 1,704 seats arranged across multiple levels, the theater provides modern amenities while maintaining accessibility through its central downtown location near public transportation.

The venue remains the final standing structure from Dallas's historic Theater Row entertainment district that once lined Elm Street during the early twentieth century.
