I attended a comedy show at the Jefferson Theatre and it was quite the experience! There is…read moresomething charming about stepping into a venue that feels like it is straight out of the 1900s. It is a nice old fashioned quaint theater that you do not come across very often so that alone made it a unique visit. The staff was pleasant and despite a large crowd coming in, they had everything well organized which I really appreciated. Nothing ruins an experience faster than chaos and poor organization so that was a definite plus! Now let's talk about the elevator. It is one of those old fashioned cage style elevators that locks you in with only two people at a time. Charming? Yes. Practical for a crowd? Not so much. There are also three levels of stairs and they are steep, so keep that in mind if you have any mobility concerns. The seating however was my biggest issue. The rows are very tight, my legs had absolutely no room and were overlapping the entire time. If anyone needed to get up, the entire row had to stand to let them through. With people coming in late it was a lot of up and down which got old quickly. Overall it was fine for what it was. The charm and character of the theater is undeniable and the staff made it a smooth experience. Would I go back? Probably not, but I am glad I went at least once!

Very little happens in downtown Beaumont after the office workers leave. The city tried to change…read morethat by opening a nightlife district on Crockett Street; that was such a bust that it was a joke. No, one of the few places you can go at night in downtown is the Jefferson Theatre. Opened in 1927, the Jefferson is a grand old dame. It's similar to other old theaters I've been to. And thankfully, it did not suffer the same fate as most of them: being torn down for an office tower with no character or - worse yet - a parking lot. It's well taken care of. I put it at three stars because it's not used much. There are VERY occasional concerts and movies that appear here. Not enough to make the Jefferson a destination. This may be because the Beaumont-Port Arthur area has very little nightlife to begin with. With so many people moving to Texas lately, including some to the southeast corner, this may bring in people who may want to see more classic movies or nationally-ranked concerts. The Jefferson has a far better local reputation than the Ford Arena & Pavilion several miles to the southwest, so why not? If you like old theaters, then you'll love the Jefferson Theatre. Hopefully there's an event there when you're ready to see it.

The Julie Rogers Theatre was built in 1928, back when life in Beaumont centered around downtown…read more When people dressed up to go see a concert in a gorgeous auditorium. Times have changed a lot, and downtown is nearly dead. But people do still go to see the shows at the Julie Rogers Theatre. They go to the Jefferson Theatre too, but for shows that need a big stage and expect bigger crowds, then Julie Rogers it is. And it is classy. Going up the stairs between the Greek columns into the building is like entering the world of The Great Gatsby. It has the nicest carpet, the nicest wallpaper, the nicest couches, the nicest restrooms, the nicest chandeliers. And then you enter the auditorium, and it has the nicest acoustics. The Southeast Texas Symphony is the main tenant, but they also hosted a praise & worship event with Michael W. Smith last year, along with many others. One Yelper posted about seeing the dinosaur-rock band Foreigner here. The Symphony, that's why we went. We got two tickets, the Hunny put on a nice dress, I put on my slacks and Rush Limbaugh No Boundaries tie, and in we went. Parking was an issue, but that's because there were two other big events downtown that night. We were pretty far back, but you go for the music, not to see someone's facial expressions. Really, putting a big screen up in this hall would simply ruin it. They didn't need microphones. Seats were comfortable. It's not intimate, but it's also not an arena where you get lost in the crowd. The past lives on at the Julie Rogers. And this is the place to see a good show and enjoy the atmosphere.

You can imagine the feeling when I found out that they were literally gonna perform in the neck of my woods. We drove to Beaumont to attend the concert. It was a decent sized theatre and was packed inside. We got good seats towards the stage. The theatre had a nice sized stage, plenty of seating, great lighting and sound features. The concert was a hit. Too bad Lou Gramm doesn't sing for them, but nonetheless, all the remaining crew members were the same. The concert lasted for a couple of hours, and they played all the original hits. The crowd was all into it (including myself), and I was just rock n rolling throughout the night. I don't believe I sat down for even a minute. The theatre has all sorts of performances. I look forward to attending more plays/concerts at this facility.
