The Historic Majestic Theatre
The Majestic Theatre is located at 224 E. Houston Street in the heart of downtown San Antonio, Texas.
Built in 1929 by John Eberson for Interstate Theatres, the Majestic was intended to be the most modern
building in South Texas and was the first in the state to be totally air-conditioned. The Majestic remains
one of the finest examples of atmospheric theatres ever built, receiving National Historic Landmark status
in 1993. Purchased in 1988 by the City of San Antonio, the theatre was renovated in 1989 at a cost of
$15 million, and shortly after, in 1996, the stage was expanded, allowing the theatre to accommodate
major Broadway musicals. Since 1989, the Majestic has hosted over 5 million patrons, all at no cost to
taxpayers. For more information, please visit us at www.majesticempire.com.
