Jefferson Theater

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other places with the same name, see Jefferson Theater (disambiguation).

Built in 1912, this combination vaudeville house/cinema is one of the major performing venues in Charlottesville, Virginia. Operated most recently as one of the dollar theaters, it is currently closed for renovations and is now owned by Coran Capshaw, who is overseeing restoration.

It was designed by architect C.K. Howell, who also designed the Empire Theater[1] in nearby Richmond, Virginia.

Before closing for renovations in the spring of 2006, one of the final performances was a concert by the Charlottesville-based bluegrass band, King Wilkie.
