The two community theaters in Corpus Christi are sure to impress. Excellent acting, impressive sets, music and choreography set the stage for an unforgettable experience year-round.
Harbor Playhouse

The theater’s productions are shown year-round at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Prices vary.
