Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The historic Virginia Samford Theatre is an arts venue for dance, music, and theater performances located on 26th Street S in Birmingham. Opened in 1927, the Romanesque style playhouse was at first called The Little Theatre. It was known for its first-rate productions, but it closed as War World II began. In 1950, the theater reopened as the Clark Memorial Theatre, purchased by a private family who donated it to the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

In 1999, the university closed the theater and the Metropolitan Arts Council restored the theater with funds from Virginia Samford Donavan for whom the theater is named. Today the theater supports local talent and presents plays and musicals.
