The Perot Theatre is one of Texarkana’s oldest cultural icons. Located downtown it is one of the oldest landmarks being established in 1924. People often forget about it because it can be overshadowed by the Cinemark or attribute it to “The Nutcracker” ballet performance. However, it is more than just a building downtown to take your prom photos at.

Last weekend they showed the cult classic, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” The film is interactive and viewers purchased kits containing props. “People were very enthusiastic and they sang and danced along with the movie,” said Andrea Loredo.

For all the music enthusiasts, the Texarkana Symphony Orchestra and Pianist Andrew Staupe will be performing “Metamorphosis” on November 5, 2022. 

It’s not all music and musicals. The Perot Theatre can also bring tricks, jokes, and pranks. Comedy magician Grant Freeman will be coming to Texarkana to perform “An R-Rated Magic Show” on November 12, 2022. This show will be full of surprises and hilarious spectacles.

The Perot Theatre is also gearing up to get into the holiday season.“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” musical will perform on November 18, 2022. Following that month, the Texarkana Community Ballet will showcase our city’s youth in “The Nutcracker” on December 2-4, 2022. To finish the year, the Texarkana Symphony Orchestra will perform “Christmas at the Perot” on December 11, 2022.

The Perot Theater has been a staple of entertainment in Texarkana since 1924 and it’s important to support local art and history. Make sure to grab your tickets before it’s too late! For more information visit https://www.perottheatre.org.
