The Plaza Theatre

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 participate 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.
