Woodlawn Theatre

The Woodlawn Theatre is an Art Deco landmark in San Antonio's Deco District. Its facade and marquee reward a brief architecture stop; current performances and interior access need checking separately.

Why go

Architect John Eberson designed the Woodlawn as a movie house, and it opened in 1946. John Wayne's The Alamo premiered here in 1960. That film connection and the restored neon marquee make the building worth noticing even when there is no show to attend. The nearby Majestic Theatre offers another San Antonio example of Eberson's work.

What to look for

  • The Art Deco facade and restored neon marquee.
  • A former movie palace linked to the 1960 premiere of The Alamo.
  • Its place among the Deco District's 20th-century buildings.

Useful to know

  • Treat the exterior as a short stop unless a current event confirms interior access.
  • Check the current operator's calendar if you want to see a performance.
