About
The Marquee originally opened in 1993 as the Red River Opry and catered to country music.[1] New ownership took over in the early 2000's, changed the name and removed the seats. It is currently owned and operated by Lucky Man Concerts. 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.[2] The theater is popular with the students of nearby Arizona State University and caters to band of the college age demographic.
