Lubbock's Hidden Gem for Entertainment
Box Office: Tue-Fri 3-5:30 pm
cactustheaterlubbock.com/links/ Its marquee featured 750 feet of neon lighting.
The historic Cactus Theater opened in April of 1938 at a cost of around $30,000 and it originally featured 720 seats and a “washed air cooling system”. The original venue operated from 1938-1958. It found new life from the mid-1990s when it was revitalized and opened primarily as a live concert and theatrical venue and operated under the guidance of Don Caldwell for the next 22 years. Today, the Cactus continues to evolve, guided by promoter and theater owner Darryl Holland - with emphasis on booking national touring acts. State-of-the-art digital cinema equipment and a retractable silver screen allow film screenings in addition to live concert productions in this storied venue - known throughout the region as the premier "listening room" in West Texas.
