About the Alpine Granada

for Artwalk 2008
The historic Granada Theatre has undergone extensive remodeling and updating to create a state of the art Performance and Events Center serving the Alpine community and the Trans Pecos Region.
The Granada’s current incarnation encompasses not only music and theatrical performance but also provides a facility for community and private events. The Theatre complex offers several different configurations which can serve functions for twenty to over four hundred attendees.
The main room offers state of the art lights and sound, a stage, rest room facilities for the handicapped and a full catering kitchen. The facility also has another state of the art system; the HVAC system is more than adequate in providing heat or air conditioning to the entire facility and is of the quiet type commonly utilized in hospitals.

Though the main facility is smoke free, with no smoking allowed, there is a quaint courtyard for smokers that offers not only an open air place within which to have a smoke or quiet conversation but also offers room sound from the main room so that you do not miss a note of a performance.

Adjoining the Theatre and Courtyard is another large and spacious hall; work has begun on restoring that as well. This room will add another facet to the complex as it will be perfect for a smaller more intimate setting for a smaller gathering, such as a family reunion or wedding reception, a birthday gathering or other special social event.
