About Ross Perot Theatre

Welcome to Ross Perot Theatre, Texarkana’s beloved historic performing arts venue. Housed in a building with roots as the Saenger (1924) and Paramount (1931) before becoming the Perot Theatre in 1980, this National Register of Historic Places property blends classic architecture with modern performances. With approximately 1,600 seats across Orchestra, Balcony, and Boxes, the theatre hosts everything from symphonic concerts and ballet to iconic concerts and tribute shows. We’ve got you with essential details to help you plan a smooth night out, including seating options, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining recommendations.

Note: Seating configurations can vary by show, and accessibility features include wheelchair seating on the main floor. If you’re visiting for a special performance, secure your seats in advance and check the venue’s accessibility options for day-of details. For a complete experience, pairing your show with a stay at a nearby hotel like Residence Inn Texarkana or Fairfield Inn & Suites Texarkana can make your trip convenient.
