TEXAS Outdoor Musical Runs Summers in Palo Duro Canyon

A professional outdoor musical drama about Panhandle history runs Tuesday through Sunday each summer at the Pioneer Amphitheater inside Palo Duro Canyon State Park.

Randall County History & Culture

The Pioneer Amphitheater inside Palo Duro Canyon State Park hosts a summer show called TEXAS. The musical drama tells the story of the people who settled the Panhandle. It plays against the real canyon walls as a backdrop. It runs Tuesday through Sunday on summer evenings. The Texas Panhandle Heritage Foundation produces the show.

The amphitheater is inside the state park. Visitors pay the park day-use fee plus a separate ticket for the show. Check the TPWD park page or the Texas Panhandle Heritage Foundation for current season dates and ticket prices. Both can change from year to year.
