About Woodlawn Theatre

Woodlawn Theatre, located in the Deco District of San Antonio, is a storied Eberson-designed venue that blends classic cinema palace charm with live performance. After renovations in 2024, the theatre seats 985 across floor and balcony areas, with the floor and balcony configurations offering a mix of intimate and sweeping views. The venue now operates as Woodlawn Comedy in the Deco Ballroom, continuing its tradition of entertaining guests with high-energy shows. We’ve got you covered with seating details, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options to make your visit easy and enjoyable.

Whether you’re catching a stand-up set, a special screening, or a premiere night, secure your seats early—our network can help you find the best available options and nearby stays. Woodlawn Theatre is a historic landmark, a former movie palace, and a City of San Antonio Historic Landmark, making it a must-visit stop in the Deco District.

Important notes: seating is floor and balcony, with wheelchair spaces located on the left side. Balcony access may vary by show, so check the ticketing map for current availability. Parking is free on-site or in adjacent lots, with rear parking for convenient entry and exit.
