Country artist Darryl Worley is helping open Downtown Cowtown at the historic Isis Theatre with a show Oct. 1.

The Isis Theatre, at 2401 N. Main St., first opened in 1915 but has been vacant since 1988. The venue has been renovated and renamed the Downtown Cowtown at The Isis. Tickets are available through outhousetickets.com.

Gary Kyle and The Kin are opening for Worley, who is playing an acoustic show. It starts at 7:30 p.m.

The renovation preserves the original theater’s “rich history,” according to a release.

The theater is also showing classic films on its big screen. It’s currently showing Marlon Brando’s “One-Eyed Jacks” from 1961 and John Wayne’s “McLintock!” from 1963.
