A WICHITA FALLS ORIGINAL · EST. 1908
More than a century of gathering together. A whole new story, every time.
The Wichita Falls Opera House opened on December 21, 1908, to a sold-out performance of His Honor, The Mayor. Funded by public subscription, it became the home of the Wichita Falls Opera Company.
The first directors were C. W. Bean, N. Henderson, J. L. Jackson, Frank Kell, J. A. Kemp, W. M. McGregor, and T. R. T. Orth. J. A. Kemp and Anderson Bean deeded the theatre for the opera house.
After an extensive renovation, the theatre reopened as a modern movie theatre. Look closely today and you can still find traces of the original opera-house windows, bricked into the building.
The Wichita began a new chapter of Broadway-style family entertainment, bringing community casts and audiences together for live productions.
Main Stage musicals, Stage 2 dinner theatre, and Live at the Wichita concerts keep the tradition moving forward. The next chapter begins when the lights go down.
