For anyone looking for something to do, or see, in Texarkana, take time to visit the Perot Theatre at 3rd<\/sup> and Main Street in downtown Texarkana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building has been a permanent fixture in the downtown area since 1924, when it was the Saenger Theatre. It was fully restored in 1979-1980 by the City of Texarkana with the help of H. Ross Perot and his sister, Bette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Perot Foundation took care of most of the restoration costs in memory of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Ross Perot. The theatre was named in their honor by the City of Texarkana, Texas city council for their generous contributions. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have several different events taking place this holiday season. On December 15, they will host the Texarkana Symphony Orchestra Christmas. It is a traditional holiday concert for the whole family. The Perot will also bring back the Holiday Traditions Festival for the second year. It will be a day of fun with food trucks, vendors, crafts, refreshments, Santa, snow, and festive movies including The Grinch and The Santa Clause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Perot Theatre has something for everyone. The Perot Theatre recently announced its 2020 series of events to the public. The Perot Theatre Series has been offering shows that are nationally and internationally well-known for 37 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shows coming to the Perot next year include Menopause the Musical, Potted Potter, and The Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular. Tickets can be purchased online or at the box office.\u00a0 The Perot Theatre has 4.5 stars out of 5 on TripAdvisor based in 85 reviews.\u00a0 Make this a priority when making future plans. You will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
