Where Tulsa Theater is
Tulsa Theater is on W. Reconciliation Way in downtown Tulsa. Its central location makes the venue address a useful starting point for planning your arrival and parking.
The building opened in 1914 as a municipal auditorium and convention hall, designed by Rose and Peterson of Kansas City, Kansas. It was known as Convention Hall from 1914 to 1952 and was billed at its opening as the largest hall between Kansas City and Houston.
A major remodel designed by Bruce Goff in 1930 added Art Deco features to the auditorium. The venue later served as Tulsa Municipal Theater from 1952 to 1979 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Planning the drive from Henryetta
Plan the drive from Henryetta around the event start time, and confirm your route before departure. The venue is in downtown Tulsa, so check your approach and parking plan together rather than leaving parking until you arrive.
If Tulsa International Airport is part of your wider travel plans, the drive from Relax Inn Henryetta to the airport is about 64 minutes; the Tulsa International Airport shuttle options for Henryetta are another consideration. That is a separate trip from the drive to Tulsa Theater, so check the route and timing for the venue itself.
Checking events and ticket details
Check the individual event listing for its age rules, start time and ticket requirements. Most events are all-ages, but restrictions can vary by event.
All attendees need a ticket except at children’s events. At those events, children who have had their first birthday by the event date need a ticket; children younger than one do not. Doors usually open one hour before the event starts, though event-specific details may differ.
Typical box office hours are Monday through Friday, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. On event days, the box office stays open through showtime; for weekend events, it opens at 12:00 pm and remains open through showtime. In-person purchases still include per-ticket fees, while the $3.60 transaction fee and $1.50 or $3.50 delivery fee are waived.
Before you go, check the official site for the event’s current ticket details, policies and schedule.
Parking and getting to the entrance
Tulsa Theater has free parking around the venue within short walking distances, as well as limited paid parking directly beside it on a first-come, first-served basis. The paid parking typically costs $10 or more. If you choose a nearby free space, leave time to walk from your parking spot to the entrance.
Once a ticket has been scanned for entry, re-entry is not permitted. The default camera policy allows point-and-shoot cameras without flash and mobile-device cameras, but not video; individual performers may set a different policy.
