Mission Statement:  The aim of the Dallas Theater is to bring entertaining, educational, and enlightening performing arts to Paulding County residents and provide a professional and personable venue experience for our audience, rental clients and performers.

The original movie theater on this site, then called the "Strand Theatre" was opened in July 1927.  The structure burned down in March 1948 and was reconstructed and enlarged by the owner and founder, Mr. Wendell Welch.  This structure was reopened as a theater in October 1948 and seated over 700 people.
