Donations
to Save
Our
Simon
There’s been nothing like the Simon before or since in
Brenham...
Built in the grand
architectural style of Beaux Arts Classical Revival, the Simon Theatre gave
generations
a place to giggle and cry, hold hands, fall in love and
escape to faraway lands.
It has been and remains an important part of Brenham’s legacy.
But now it needs us. Won’t you please help save this
wonderful landmark?
Every donation goes directly to renovating and
promoting this historic landmark building.
Together, we will Save Our
Simon.
