There’s something beautiful and fascinating about a historic theater. Whether it’s the gorgeous exterior design or architecture, the history, magnificent seasons of performers that filter through, you need to know EXACTLY where to go when it comes to Tennessee. We’ve found a great group for you, too!
- Antoinette Hall - Pulaski
Restore Antoinette Hall Opera House / Facebook Restore Antoinette has been the cry of Pulaski, recently. Built in 1868, this historic hall is an opera house that once held Tennessee tight to its seats, in awe of the talent that graced the stage.
- Belcourt Theater - Nashville
Brent Moore / Flickr The entirety of the theater has been restored, giving you the option to take in an indie flick in the fun and hoppin’ Hillsboro Village. Check out their Rifftrax nights and midnight movies for an epic date night.
- Bijou Theatre - Knoxville
Brent Moore / Flickr Considered haunted and vibrantly exciting, the Bijou Theatre is located in downtown Knoxville. You can see everything from a concert to a movie, catering to every audience.
- Capitol Theatre - Marysville
Capitol Theatre / Facebook Although you can’t catch a show here any longer, weddings are absolute MADE for a place like this. Not the other way around, if you get our drift.
- Franklin Theatre - Franklin
Derek Bruff / Flickr This gorgeous theatre in downtown Franklin has movie specials throughout the year, so you can catch ‘It’s A Wonderful Life" in the winter or catch a performance year ‘round.
- Luez Theatre - Bolivar
Brent Moore / Flickr This gem of the south is located in West Tennessee. You may want to donate to save it, though - this gorgeous place may go the way of the dinosaurs if we don’t take action.
- Orpheum Theatre - Memphis

- Princess Theatre - Harriman

- Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville
