About.
The venue originally opened January 1993 as the "Red River Opry" (often referred to as the "Red River Music Hall") and catered for country music. The Opry filed for bankruptcy in 2001 and closed later that years. The venue was purchased by Nobody In Particular Presents in 2002. After a year of renovations, the theatre opened in March 2003. 
Tom LaPenna purchased the venue a year later. His company, Lucky Man Concerts (formerly Lucky Man Productions) has owned and operated the theatre since March 29, 2004. 
The theater features festival seating and the back of the house is approximately 80 feet from the stage. It is open to all ages and alcoholic beverages are served with proper ID. Due to the Arizona smoking laws, there is no smoking permitted inside but a large outdoor patio is provided. The theatre is popular with the students of nearby Arizona State University and caters to the college-age demographic.
