Are these the River Oaks Theatre s last days? The story continues to play out.
It looks like itâs over for the River Oaks Theatre. Or is it?
The latest news in a story with more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan film reveals that the historic theaterâs landlord is talking once again to operator Landmark. The offer set forth by Weingarten, according to the Houston Chronicle, includes forgiving past-due rent and establishing a 24-month repayment plan.Â
Itâs a 180 from the weekend, when the 1939 theater designated a landmark by the Museum District Business Alliance announced it would close its doors on March 31 because Weingarten and Landmark had ended their talks without a deal.Â

Did you know Tupac Shakur recorded music at Richmond’s Starlight Recording Studio early in his career? Or how about that Henry J. Kaiser offered healthcare to his workers on the Richmond Home Front during WWII before it was a thing? These revelations and more about Richmond’s history can be seen in a captivating new educational film series recently launched by the Richmond Museum of History and Culture.
Produced by Doug Harris and funded through the Economic and Community Investment Agreement (ECIA) grant between Chevron Richmond and the City, the museum’s five films pack a ton of hyper-local history into a very short timeframe on average, five minutes each. The films, which include commentary from local historians, include the following topics: Rancho San Pablo, the Spanish Flu in Richmond, the SS Red Oak Victory (WWII in Richmond), the Richmond Black Panthers and Starlight Recording Studio.
