The Spotlight Theater on Riverside Drive in Tulsa is one of my favorite subjects. It is an Art Deco building designed by Bruce Goff and built in 1928 as a private residence but since the early 1950’s has been the home of Spotlight Theater. I think that it is a beautiful, timeless building.
The Spotlight puts on America’s longest running play. Weekly since November 14, 1953 they put on “The Drunkard.” More than 3000 Tulsan’s have been in the cast and over a quarter million people have seen it. I have to admit that I haven’t but I intend to!!
That is a fun and interesting building to photograph.
The building must be somewhat larger than it appears in this photo. Or maybe the audiences are rather small. At any rate, I like the look of the building.
very cool building…but like EG Camera Girl, I have a hard time figuring out the scale of it too!
When you go to the play, make sure you take some inside photos too…
I love Art Deco so I have to agree with you on this being a beautiful timeless building. Very interesting that it has put on the same play for so many years … how did you manage to not see it after all this time. I hope you will go and then let us know what is so great about it that makes it the longeest running play ever. Very interesting, Alan …

What a great little theater!!! I bet it is a fun place to go!
That must be a very popular play and I love the look of that building.
That is very cool! I have a thing/passion for old architecture 🙂
Fascinating! I think you should go and sneak some pix of the inside of this neat building .
lol, it certainly has it´s own design 🙂 But, yes it is beautiful. 🙂
That’s a beautiful building. I can see how you’re taken by it. This is a nice shot.
Take 25 to Hollister
I really like the Art Deco but am wondering if there’s more to this building.
Handsome and striking♪
I love the spotlight theater. I would really like someone to invest is a major restoration of the exterior. I know that the interior cannot be restored, because the current use is far different that the original intent. Still, a loving hand throughout the building would be nice.
