About The Jefferson Theater
Located on Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall, the Jefferson Theater was established in 1912 as a live performance theater that played host to silent movies, vaudeville acts, and a historic list of live performers, ranging from Harry Houdini to The Three Stooges.
The Jefferson reopened on November 27, 2009 after a comprehensive restoration that highlights the theater's vintage architecture while modernizing its facilities. The theater features two full‐service bars on separate floors, a restored balcony, new central air and heating systems, and new restrooms throughout the facility, and serves as a premiere venue for weddings in Charlottesville's Downtown Mall.
