The Morton Theatre hosted early acts such
as classical pianist Alice Carter Simmons, Butterbeans and Susie,
Blind Willie McTell, Curley Weaver and Roy Dunn.
Restored and adapted as a performing arts
space, the Morton now caters to local community and touring groups
hosting live musical concerts, musicals, dramas, church services,
weddings, dance concerts, receptions, poetry readings, and pageants.
We seat 500 and are listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. Our stage lighting system is state
of the art with an ETC Express 72/144 light board and Source Four
lighting instruments. Our audio system allows for the broadcast
of both live and pre-recorded sounds and our fly system has 24
rigging lines.
We are available for rentals, seminars,
small banquets, meetings, conferences, receptions...
We hope you find our website informative
and entertaining. For more information, feel free to contact

more than happy to show off
