Annette Strauss Square, Open-air theatre in Dallas Arts District, United States
Annette Strauss Square is an open-air performance venue located within the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas. The space features a sloping lawn that descends toward a main stage, creating natural seating areas for audiences.
The venue opened in 1989 as a temporary structure created by Dallas authorities to provide affordable performance spaces for local artists. It eventually became a permanent and integral part of the city's Arts District.
The square serves as a public gathering space where concerts, theater productions, and dance performances take place regularly throughout the year. Visitors encounter diverse artistic expressions in an open setting accessible to everyone.
The location is easily accessible by public transportation, with M-Line stops near Olive and Flora streets providing convenient access. The open design means weather conditions can affect comfort during events, so checking forecasts before visiting is helpful.
British architect Spencer de Grey designed the square with a flexible layout that works equally well for large crowds and smaller, more intimate performances. This adaptability sets it apart from most outdoor performance spaces.
