The AT&T Performing Arts Center is the nonprofit organization that operates several of the main performance venues in the Dallas Arts District. Its campus on Flora Street includes the Winspear Opera House, the Wyly Theatre and Strauss Square, an outdoor stage, and it opened in 2009.
The center describes its role as providing, operating and activating performance spaces for artists, arts organizations and the public. Five resident companies perform there: Texas Ballet Theater, Broadway Dallas, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Dallas Theater Center and The Dallas Opera. Programming partners include TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND and the Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico.
The calendar runs from Broadway tours and theater to comedy, dance, concerts and family programs, so the center draws audiences from across North Texas, not only from downtown.
President and CEO Warren Tranquada was named to D CEO’s 2027 Dallas 500. The box office number is (214) 880-0202, and the administrative office is at 700 North Pearl Street, Suite N1800. Tickets and event schedules are on the center’s website.
