The Spotlight Theater is an attractive (it could use some paint) art deco building, designed by Bruce Goff, from the 1920’s situated on Riverside Drive just across the street from the River Parks. In all the years I have been running I have never seen the lights on. Not because the building is abandoned but because they are open only on the weekends. One day last Fall though people were there and the lights were on.
The theater has hosted “The Drunkard” every Saturday night since 1953. Supposedly it is the longest running play in America according to their web site.
Check out Tasha Does Tulsa for her report on the Spotlight Theater.
This is a very interesting photo of the old theater. I have never seen it lit up from the inside. Back in the late 1960s I was part of a Barbershop quartet that sang on their Olio several times.
An interesting shot. Looks like fire.
Terrific shot/reflection for the day and so colorful! I do love those old theaters! Hope you have a great weekend! Enjoy!

Remarquable façade, bien mise en valeur par cet éclairage et ce reflet !
What? I don’t even know about this place. How can I be called a Tulsan?
Tasha does Tulsa sounds like a porn star. I’ll have to check her out. {Not in a lesbian kind of way though}
Bravo!
What a fabulous shot that first one is 🙂
Nice pic! I’m waiting for your (and Sweetie’s) review of “the drunkard”!
I really like that building.
The building has a nice design, reflective of the era.
«Louis» hopes it is soon restored!
Lovely first shot – does that run beat the mousetrap in London?
Lovely first shot and for Catherine’s information The Mousetrap opened in London in 1958 and has run continuously since then. To my mind this beats The Drunkard in that TD is played on Saturdays only whereas TM is a six days a week “gig”. “Who done it” -I know not, the Brits are obviously good at keeping secrets:-)
I like the first shot very much.
Regards and best wishes
