Dallas Theater, located in the historic center of Dallas in the state of Georgia, is a restored theater whose roots reach back to the former Strand Theatre, which opened in 1927. Following a fire, reconstruction and a later conversion of the building, the venue was extensively redeveloped during the 2000s as a performing arts facility, with architectural details recalling the Art Deco appearance of the 1948 theater. The present auditorium accommodates approximately 550 guests, providing enough capacity for theater productions, concerts, comedy, film screenings and other events while retaining the more intimate character of a historic theater.
Inside, seating is divided between the main auditorium level and a balcony, while modernized lighting and sound systems support a variety of stage productions. The relatively compact auditorium keeps the audience close to the stage, and the restored decorative elements and traditional theater layout create an atmosphere very different from that of a large multipurpose arena. The emphasis is firmly on a direct performance experience and a classic theatrical setting.
The Dallas Theater & Civic Center complex is listed at 121 E Griffin St, Dallas, United States, in downtown Dallas, Georgia, while the official box office and main theater access are located at 208 Main Street. Free public parking is available along Main Street and behind the theater, including areas on East Spring Street and Church Street, leaving only a short walk to the entrance.
