The Square Footage and History
The Cole Theatre was build in the year of 2026, but has an Old Victorian feel to it. The walls are made of brick, but have an old worn textured finish on them to make them look like they came from the Victorian era. The theatre space is family owned by the Mackling Family. The area is approximately about 10.000 at most with a 480 seating range. The stage is 15′ x 20′ with two fully equipped dressing rooms, and a gigantic main lobby. The Cole Theatre runs many types of theatrical events, a few in particular being plays and musicals. The Cole LLC is also in partnership with a few other school theatre programs from the surrounding areas. We allow our organizations to rent our theatre and produced written musicals and other plays for small rental price of $1,000.
Some of the organizations we partner with are;
- Rider High School; Theatre Inquires: Click here
- Hirschi High School Theatre Inquires: Click here
- Many, many others as well.
The Founders
A word from our founders;
The President – Jaxson Mackling
I, Jaxson Mackling would like to welcome you to ‘The Cole Theatre’. As the president/owner of the Cole Theatre, and founder of the ‘Cole Board’, I don’t believe in, or allow any behavior that would injury our actors or other violence to our sets. If you feel the urge to harm me one of our actors, our sets, or another member of the board, (if a part of the theatre), you will be fired, (if a patron of theatre, or a normal theatre-goer), you will asked to leave immediately and our box office will reschedule your tickets for another performance of any seasonal production and will be refunded on your ticket price.
Our First Season
Our first season was very impacted. We had a number of 2,000 hires that auditioned for our season. The audiences were very impactive, they had a lot of great things to say about the atmosphere of the theatre.
“Wow! Very Inviting.” – TheatreJones
“Very Mysterious Atmosphere. LOVE IT!” – DFW Theatre Critics
“Marie Antonette would be amazed!” – Dallas Morning News
The Season consisted of three plays and a musical. Our Patrons and regular one to two shows a season, theatre – goers can choose between 3 different deals.
- ‘All 4 Shows’ Deal: (our patrons would have first choice of seats, the single tickets would go out at a later date.) Price; $800 – up (for the patrons). Price; $600 (for the non-patrons, and single shows tickets).
- ‘Just The Plays’ Deal: (the price will be lowered for both the patrons and non-patrons.) Price; $600 (for the patrons). Price; $400 (non-patrons).
- ‘Musical Lovers’ Deal: Price; $330 (patrons). Price; $210 (non – patrons.)
That’s all I have for you today. My last post of the week will be up tomorrow. It will consist of the plots of the shows in the season.
