The League of Historic American Theatres has compiled from our internal database an inventory of extant historic theatres, cinemas, and opera houses in North America. Historic, for the purposes of this list, is defined as a minimum of 50 years old.
Intended to demonstrate the breadth and depth of America’s historic theatres and serve as a resource to our members, theatre historians, preservationists and other community leaders, this inventory is by no means the definitive source of information on all historic theatres. Other sources of information on historic theatres, cinemas and opera houses include:
Cinema Treasures
Cinema Tour
Gene Chesley Collection
Preservation Directory
Theatre Historical Society
LHAT welcomes updated information on any theatre included in our inventory. Please contact us.
Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal Agency. Visit the NEA at http://www.nea.gov
