About The Permian Playhouse


The Past

The Odessa Theatre Guild was formed in 1939 and produced plays until World War II. In 1948 the group formed The Permian Playhouse and presented Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit.

In 1957 with leadership provided by Bill Holm, Ed Costello, and Thelma Maxwell, The Permian Playhouse of Odessa was incorporated as a non-profit organization for the study, practice, and production of dramatic and other fine arts. Plays were presented in rented venues and school auditoriums. In less than a decade it was apparent that a permanent facility was needed to house the burgeoning organization. A capital fund drive was launched that culminated with the opening of our current home at 310 W. 42nd Street.

The first full-time Director, Neal Whiting was appointed in 1961. Enid Holm served as Director from 1965 until 1977, and later went on to be the first director of Texas Nonprofit Theatres and a celebrated authority on business management for community theatres. Coy Sharp served as Director from 1979 until 1993. Enid and Coy will always be remembered for their dedication and service to the Permian Playhouse.

Present & Future

The Permian Playhouse presents a full season of plays and musicals providing countless hours of entertainment. Theatre Education classes and Youth Theatre productions continue to enriched the lives of the children of the Permian Basin. The Permian Playhouse continues to serve the needs, desires, and dreams of its citizens.
