THE MAJESTIC THEATRE

National + State Landmark | Est. 1929

The Majestic Theatre stands at the heart of downtown San Antonio and is one of the most storied and architecturally significant theaters in Texas. Designed by John Eberson in 1929, it was the first fully air-conditioned theater in the state and remains one of the few atmospheric theatres worldwide—complete with a star-painted ceiling. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1991, and recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1993, the Majestic was threatened with demolition in the 1980s. Thanks to community leadership and restoration efforts led by Joci Straus and MEF, it reopened in 1989 as a premier destination for Broadway, concerts, and student showcases—where young performers share the same stage as legends.
