In 2004 the owners of the historical movie theatre (West Theatre) was given to a group of citizens in George West. It was decided that the theatre could be renovated and made into a performing arts theatre. Thus the Dobie West Performing Arts Theatre in George West was established.
Each month the Dobie West Performing Arts Theatre presents some type of program. Most programs feature outside performers: musical concerts, comedians, or dance.
