About
Community theatre isn't always a revolving door of amateurs. The El Paso Playhouse is a different breed: it's been putting on shows since 1964, making it the longest-running community theatre in El Paso. Founded as the Festival Theatre through the generosity of the Kastrin family and other local backers, the Playhouse presents mysteries, comedies, dramas, and more. It's a staple of the Five Points neighborhood, and its longevity speaks to its place in the local arts scene.
You'll find shows on Friday and Saturday evenings (4-8pm) and Sunday matinees (10am-3pm). The space includes free wifi, and the current board president is involved in daily operations. For a dose of live theatre that's deeply rooted in El Paso's history, this is your spot. If you're exploring more of the city's arts offerings, the Plaza Theatre Performing Arts Center is another historic venue nearby.
