The Palace - Corsicana

Corsicana's Palace Theatre is a 1921 vaudeville house located in downtown Corsicana, Texas. The theatre saw famous acts before changing to a movie house in the 1930's. In the mid 1990's the Theatre was saved from demolition and beautifully restored for the community. In February 2002, the Theatre reopened to great fanfare with the musical, Porgy and Bess. Since 2002, many famous faces have graced the stage of the Palace. With the help of generous underwriting and fundraisers, the Palace is able to fulfill its mission to Corsicana and surrounding areas. The Palace seeks to enrich the local community through activities promoting professional arts, and will continue to shine for the new generations.
