Courtyard Theater

Plano's beautiful Courtyard Theater is located in the Haggard Park Historic District, immediately adjacent to downtown Plano. A 1938 Works Progress Administration (WPA) project, The Cox Gymnasium has been a significant building in Plano's history, and has long exemplified the cultural and social heritage of Plano, Texas. Through the support of the City of Plano and the visionary leadership of the arts community, the City Council approved a $4.6 million dollar restoration of the Cox Gymnasium in 1999. The architectural firm worked diligently both to preserve the historic materials and style of the existing building with modern functionality and interior accents of color, form, and material. The end result is a state-of-the-art facility with a historical perspective unlike any other performing arts center in teh DFW metroplex. If you are interested in renting space for a theatrical production, meeting, or special event, please contact us at 972.941.5611 or by email. The Courtyard Theater is available for rental by month, week, or half-day.
