Royal Theater
About Us
Initially made famous by Archer City native and Oscar winner Larry McMurtry's novel, The Last Picture Show, the Royal Theater has gained a reputation for a center of performing arts in North Texas.
The Texasville Opry, the Late Week Lazy Boy Supper Club and numerous plays and performances are hosted on a routine basis at The Royal.
The theater has deep roots in Archer City history. Many share fond memories of the theater as a childhood hang out when it was in operation as the local movie theater. However, a fire gutted the building in 1965, and the building was left in ruins for many years.
In the late 1990s, a group of local citizens garnered support to rebuild The Royal, and the theater opened its doors in August of 2000.
