Why go
The Majestic Theatre opened in 1929 with Mediterranean-style details and a painted night-sky ceiling that make the room part of the event. The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts adds a later chapter in San Antonio's performance history. Compare the buildings as well as the programs: the Majestic rewards attention to its surviving movie-palace design, while the Tobin gives you a different downtown performance setting.
What to look for
- The Majestic Theatre's Mediterranean-style interior and painted night-sky ceiling.
- The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts as a later downtown performance venue.
Useful to know
- Compare the current programs at both venues before choosing a performance.
- Confirm public access directly with the venue if you want to see its interior without attending an event.
