Hello John,
Is there any way that you might want to use one of your many screen spaces as a live theatre performance space in San Antonio? Crossroads seems to be perfect with its dinner style atmosphere. And probably the only place in the country where live perforamnce and film could share time. Of course most theatrical productions occur thur-sun evenings it would generate publicity. ATSA is producing the live stage production of The Rocky Horror Show with plans for other cult musical comedy’s geared for young and old alike. With very limited change to the theatre itself this is do-able. Thanks.

JerryPilato commented about Woodlawn Theatre on Jan 8, 2004 at 10:57 am

The Woodalwn theatre was designed by top world movie palace designer John Eberson and opened in 1946. The world premiere of THE ALAMO opened in 1960 at The Woodlawn. The theatre has been through many chances over the years. The marquee is still there with just the underside working. A bid of $18,000 was given to restore to original working condition. Anyone want to help? The run down theatre is the home of the Actors Theatre Of San Antonio (ATSA) and the sketch comedy group the Oxymorons. Two stages: One in the main area and one where the balcony was at one time. Both seat about 120. ATSA is a 23 year old group which produces for the most part non-
commercial and “off the wall” theatre as well as classic American Playwrights. Currently showing THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. For other
information please call 210-722-5791. Jerry () .
