Davis Theatre for the Performing Arts is a historic theatre in downtown Montgomery, distinguished by the restored character of a grand former movie palace. Decorative plasterwork, large chandeliers and its classic exterior marquee preserve a strong historic identity, while the auditorium provides 1,200 seats for theatre productions, concerts, musicals, ballet and other performing arts events.
Inside, the venue combines a traditional theatre atmosphere with technical facilities suited to modern productions. It is known for excellent acoustics and features a main floor and balcony, a full-size orchestra pit and an auditorium layout designed to provide clear views of the stage from different seating areas. Restored decorative elements and the relatively intimate relationship between the audience and stage add to the overall performance experience.
