PLAY/Cain's Ballroom

 
Cain’s was built in 1924 to serve as a garage for one of Tulsa's founders, Tate Brady. Madison W. "Daddy" Cain purchased the building in 1930 and named it Cain's Dance Academy where he charged $0.10 for dance lessons. The academy was the site of the Texas Playboys' first regular radio broadcast, and they continued to play there regularly.

In 1976, Larry Schaeffer purchased the building, refurbished it, and reopened it with the current name, Cain's Ballroom. With a recent owner change through Rodgers Properties in October of 2002, Doc Roc Productions has been managing the Cain’s show production team. Many interior updates have recently been completed including opening up the ceiling to its original height, adding central heat and air (which the building previously never had), restroom renovations, new wood floors, and the completion of Bob’s, a companion bar next door.
