The Plaza Theatre Performing Arts Center is a National Historic Building of Significance built in 1930.

The theatre showcases Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, featuring intricately painted ceilings, mosaic-tiled floors, decorative metal railings, and antique furniture. As one of the few remaining atmospheric theatres in the United States, The Plaza creates an illusion that viewers are seated outdoors in a Spanish courtyard. The stars on the ceiling reflect the Southwestern sky in June. Besides its rich decor, the Mighty Wurlitzer Blaban III Organ is one of only six made. The organ has 1,071 pipes and can simulate 15 different instruments. The Plaza Theatre comprises the 2,050-seat Kendall Kidd Performance Hall, the 200-seat Philanthropy Theatre, and the Alcantar Sky Garden. The latter is an enchanting rental venue for private receptions, business parties, and family gatherings.
