San Antonio:

The Majestic Theatre

Recognized as one of the most ornate facilities in the country, the Majestic has long held a special place in the archives of Texas theatrical and architectural history. Located at 224 E. Houston Street in the heart of downtown San Antonio, the Majestic was designed and built in 1929 and stood proudly for many years as the largest theatre in Texas and the second largest motion picture theatre in the country. It was intended to be the most modern and ornate building in South Texas - complete with new sound and projection equipment - and was the first theatre in the state to be totally air-conditioned. The Majestic remains one of the finest atmospheric theatres ever.

The Charline McCombs Empire Theatre

During the heyday of vaudeville, some of America's favorite stage performers made appearances at the Empire. In the 1920's, silent movies featuring stars such as Lon Chaney and Charlie Chaplin were favorites of the Empire patrons. When talking motion pictures made their debut, huge crowds religiously attended the features. The Great Depression was not enough to slow the business of the Empire when 15,000 people packed into the theatre in one week's time for Mae West's "Belle of the 90's." Gene Autry and Roy Rogers with Trigger were among the most memorable live acts produced on the Empire stage before the theatre began exclusively showing motion pictures.

Since 1998, performances by artists including Don McLean, Shawn Colvin, David Crosby and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band contributed to the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre's success. Musical productions such as Beehive and Always...Patsy Cline are only part of the theatrical offerings. The Empire Theatre is also home to wonderful children's programming.

Houston:

Rockefeller Hall

From 1979 through 1997, the property had its fabulous tenure as “Rockefeller’s, The Night Club.”  Such greats as B.B. King, Roy Orbison, Melissa Etheridge, The Dixie Chicks and many other local and national acts graced the Rockefeller’s stage.  Renovated in 1999, the facility has since hosted over a thousand weddings, corporate events, fundraisers and private parties. 

In the spring of 2006, Rampant Entertainment produced the first public benefit concert at the venue since 1997.   Texas Burning will feature both the “rising stars” and iconic performers of all genres of the Texas music scene.  In honor of the history of musical excellence that was “Rockefeller’s,” we will also showcase the pioneers of blues, jazz, rock and Texas songwriting whose talent is deserving of an international audience.
