PLAY/Brady Theater

 
The Brady Theater, built between 1912 and 1914, was originally designed to serve as the City's Municipal Auditorium and was simply called "Convention Hall" for the first forty years of its life. In 1952, major additions were added and the building was renamed Tulsa Municipal Theater. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Supplanted as the City Auditorium in 1979 by construction of the Performing Arts Center in Downtown, "the Old Lady on Brady" continues to be used today for a wide variety of concerts and theatrical productions.

In 1952, additions were constructed at the front and rear of the original 1914 structure. Upper and lower lobbies were added and the building was renamed Tulsa Municipal Theater. In 1979, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The architectural design at the time was referred to as Western Classic Revival.
