Tyler Community Theater

Tyler has long been the center of activity for East Texas (shown later in Tyler background) and cultural events are no exception. This project originated from residents discussing the lack of facilities available to the public appropriate for theater activities. Appropriately, the client for this project will be the City of Tyler, represented by the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce. The Junior League,(a women's community service organization) expressly the Committee for Cultural Enrichment, has expressed interest in supporting theater activities if a proper facility were available.

Further, the project is being developed to be used as a teaching facility for a degree program in conjunction with the University of Texas at Tyler. The relatively young University has no auditorium or theater facilîty and no future plans to build any. Hopefully, this effort will avoid the duplication of costly buildings and will help focus the talents of students and the community.
