Davis Theater
It was a Movie Palace, designed for the talkies and Vaudeville shows. The theater, newly reopened in December 2016 after extensive renovations, features first-run films on three screens. The revamped theater includes an attached restaurant and bar, Carbon Arc Bar & Board, with an impressive cocktail menu, 26 beers on tap and an extensive wine list—all of which can come with you into your movie.
The Davis Theatre is a downtown landmark and is one of only a handful of such theatre spaces still standing across the South. The acoustics are excellent, and with twelve-hundred seats, the size is perfect. It has a full-size orchestra pit, and the stage is easily seen from any seat in the house. There is a feeling of intimacy long since sacrificed in modern theatre design.
The theatre hosts amateur and professional musicals, dramatic productions, chamber music groups, symphony orchestras, dance groups, ballets and instrumental performances of all types. Moreover, the theatre is available to civic, cultural and educational institutions to merge these programs with other activities to expand and enrich the life of the community.
Countless numbers of patrons not only enjoyed movies and shows in the palace, but many couples enjoyed their first date, first kiss or marriage proposal here. There were many weddings held on the stage of The Davis!
