The Tech Theatre opened in 1940. It was located across from Texas Tech University on what was then called College Avenue. The single screen theatre closed in 1955.

In the late 1940s, the Tech Theatre was the venue for a regular Saturday morning live radio (I think it was KFYO) show featuring a live talent contest for children. I used to go down every Saturday morning to try and win the contest by singing the latest song. I think Bob Nash was the Master of Ceremonies. It was a very popular radion show of the times.
