THE MAJESTIC THEATRE

The Majestic Theatre opened its doors on April 21, 1921, as a vaudeville theatre. It was built by impresario Karl Hoblitzelle and designed by John Eberson, one of the foremost designers in the early 20th Century. As the vaudeville era came to an end in the 1930s, Hoblitzelle began to present movies in his theatres. The Majestic hosted film premieres with big stars in attendance, including Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, John Wayne, and many others. The Majestic screened its last film in 1973. The Hoblitzelle Foundation gifted the Majestic to the City of Dallas in January 1976. After major restoration, the Theatre reopened on January 28, 1983, as a performing arts venue. The Theatre currently presents performing arts events, concerts and comedy shows, and is also available for corporate meetings, nonprofit fundraisers, and private functions.
