The Plaza Theatre

The Plaza Theatre A regional, iconic performance space as a home for live plays, concerts, special events on Monterey

The Community Theatre of Wharton, a 501(C)3 non-profit organization now renamed the Plaza Theatre, Inc., acquired the abandoned and derelict Plaza Theatre building in the early ’90s. By 1995 the first floor was restored as a venue for live performances. We now produce a regular season of plays and concerts each year as well as special events. Our goal is to give ordinary citizens the chance to par

ticipate in the arts at all levels and to facilitate their personal growth and the growth, health and wellbeing of the community. The Plaza is located on Monterey Square, the original downtown square in Wharton, Texas. Although we are based in Wharton County, the Plaza’s central location and excellent accessibility help us attract audience and performers from throughout the region, including the nearby counties of Victoria, Fort Bend, Matagorda, Colorado, Brazoria, and Jackson.

WARNING: Viewing these photos may cause sudden snack cravings! 🥞🍓

When we tell parents that Litefooters get snacks during rehearsal, we don't mean a handful of crackers and a juice box...

We mean PANCAKE & FRUIT KABOBS! 🤯✨

A huge shoutout to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Charlene, who are once again making sure our hardworking young performers stay fueled for all their singing, dancing, acting, flying, and Neverland adventures. 💚

Let's be honest... these snacks might be better than what some of us had for breakfast this morning! 😂

👇 We need your help!

If YOU were a Litefooter, what rehearsal snack would be your dream snack?
🍕 Pizza?
🍪 Cookies?
🍉 Watermelon?
🍦 Ice Cream?
🥨 Something else?

Drop your answer in the comments and let's see if Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Charlene are taking notes! 👀

And if you see them around town, be sure to thank them for helping keep our cast happy, energized, and ready to put on an amazing show!
