W. L. Dodson Auditorium is one of East Texas’ premier entertainment and cultural venues, proudly located on the Kilgore College campus. Opened in 1952, the 1,300-seat auditorium has served for more than seven decades as a gathering place for students, families, and the community.
Best known as the home of Kilgore College’s commencement ceremonies and the world-famous Rangerette Revels, Dodson has also welcomed countless concerts, theatrical productions, guest speakers, and community celebrations.
Dodson Auditorium is currently in the process of a major renovation, but will be available to rent for events beginning in 2026.
