The San Pedro Playhouse began being built in 1929 on the grounds of the San Padro Springs Park. According to the "Design", edition of Winter 1996, "The theater's facade was copied from the old Market House which stood on West Market Street.... Gutzon Borglum selected the site for the playhouse on a corner of the park shaded by a grove of oak trees."
Unfortunately, the arts are historically not well supported in San Antonio, so the playhouse has been a springboard for local thespians to train in their craft until they can break out into more success venues.
