Richmond is a city of monuments that has become something of a monument itself to America’s New South. The City’s historic buildings and world-class museums nestle next to new structures designed to harmonize with the past even as they define the city’s future. The re-built James River and Kanawha Canal “Canal Walk” allows visitors easy access to the only metropolitan whitewater river in the country. Buildings ranging from the historic Tredegar Iron Works to the modern Federal Reserve to the transportation hub Main Street Station are at the center of the River District, a popular entertainment and dining enclave. Entertainment, dining and nightlife activity continues to grow in Shockoe Slip and Shockoe Bottom, two areas that have had a great rebirth after the construction of the floodwall in 1995.

The theater is known for its ornate interior and exterior and still has its original red velvet drapes, 5,000-crystal chandelier and an organ that rises out of the stage.
