Music City Texas Theater is a project of Linden – Music City, Texas, Incorporated, an autonomous nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization conceived by the Linden Economic Development Corporation in an effort to promote tourism in Linden, Cass County and the surrounding area. A number of local musicians, both amateur and professional, blended their abilities with the talents of local artists and contractor
s, and combined with financial support from the LEDC, the Linden Lions Club and private individuals, the Linden American Legion Auditorium originally built in 1948-1950, was transformed into a beautiful performance venue, attracting big talent to a small town. Opening in May of 2003, the theater began to present an array of quality entertainment, ranging from regional and local entertainers to nationally known artists from all genres of music. A non-profit operation in an out-of-the-way location, the venue relies heavily on financial support from Sponsors and Patrons and is operated almost entirely through volunteer effort. But once music makers and music lovers have experienced its uniqueness, they have been known to return, sometimes from as much as thousands of miles away, to enjoy the experience again. The venue also hosts a number of civic gatherings, and when there are some extra finances available in excess of operating expenses, a portion of those proceeds are allocated to community improvement projects. We encourage you to visit this special place and by your patronage and financial support, secure the enjoyment of its special experience for years to come.
