Virginia Samford Theatre

In 1927, a new cultural destination opened its doors in Birmingham. This intimate theater brought together a wide range of the community’s residents to enjoy thought-provoking new performances and soul-stirring classics.

Much has changed about Birmingham in the years since, but the venue now known as the Virginia Samford Theatre remains a singular hub of creative insight and diverse entertainment.

So join us for an incredible year of music, comedy and drama!
