Richmond, VA
Carpenter Theatre

Fully renovated and restored, the historic Carpenter Theatre is ready to open its doors in September!  State-of-the-art lighting and world-class acoustics will attract both audiences and entertainers from around the corner, and around the world, filling the stage with dancing, singing, symphonies, concerts, plays and even Broadway shows.  Upon entering the refurbished Carpenter Theatre - complete with nearly 1800 seats - audiences will enjoy newly installed fiber optic stars twinkling overhead in the repainted midnight sky ceiling, one of the many preserved and enhanced elements of John Eberson's original theater design. The Carpenter Theatre celebrated its 80th birthday last year, and what better way to commemorate this milestone than to welcome audiences back to this fun-filled, enchanting Downtown Richmond landmark.
