The Kathleen C.
Cailloux City Center for the Performing Arts opened in the
spring of 2003. The Cailloux Family and the City of Kerrville
collaborated in the renovations of the Kerrville Municipal
Auditorium (built in 1960) to provide a first-class auditorium
for the residents of Kerrville, and to create a facility that
has become a focal point for the performing arts in the Texas
Hill Country.
As one enters onto the granite and marble flooring of the foyer,
your attention is immediately drawn to the grand stairway. The
Texas limestone walls provide a hill country feel to an
auditorium one would expect to see in the larger venues of
Texas. In the 834-seat auditorium there are no obstructed view
seats in the house, providing full view of the stage from each
velvet theater chair. There are several areas designated
specifically for those individuals who have special needs,
including an elevator to provide access to the rear of the
auditorium.
The Cailloux Theater is home to The Kerrville Performing Arts
Society, Symphony of the Hills, Playhouse 2000, and The Hill
Country Youth Orchestras. Also, the Kerrville Independent School
District holds many of their programs in the theater. In
addition, the Cailloux Theater is available to private organizations for
various functions. |
