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. While a sublime music venue, The Jefferson is also a fantastic place to host your next private event. With a kitchen in-house and a gracious staff, we can accommodate just about any function you may dream up. Some past events include weddings, award ceremonies, film screenings and a variety of Corporate and University cocktail /dinner parties.
