BrightStar Theaters

You love performing. Whether with a backing band or on your own, you live for the energy generated by an enthusiastic audience. We do, too. Many may recall the original 560 seat movie theater that operated at the current location in the 1970’s and 1980’s. In 1992, the theater became the home to the Oaklawn Opry for 25 years, where over 6000 singers performed on the stage. Now today, BrightStar Theaters has moved into the 21st Century, looking at a future that will be an exciting and enjoyable experience for everyone that visits this new venue.

Centrally-located at the Oaklawn Village Shopping Center in Texarkana, TX, BrightStar Theaters is newly-upgraded and ready to help you and your country, rock & roll, R&B, Christian or western swing band shine. Enjoy our house band, Southern Nights Tribute Band, along with many other talented performers every week.

Book a show with us today and enjoy the applause of an enthusiastic audience during your next performance.

We provide a safe and wholesome atmosphere where your family can enjoy live music performances. Our venue includes:

Security in the theater and at the front door
A concession stand serving popcorn, nachos and cold drinks
A VIP Green Room that can be reserved for private parties

No alcohol will be served at the concession stand, ensuring a comfortable environment for everyone in attendance.

Think of BrightStar Theaters in Texarkana when you’re planning your next family outing and enjoy a worry-free live music experience.

We will be officially opening in April, with a soft opening on April 8 and the first live show on April 15. You can buy tickets to performances in advance online and reserve your seats, or purchase tickets at the door.
