The Colonial Theatre in South Hill, Virginia will once again shine as a center for the arts. Polished to its original beauty, the theater is part of the Colonial Center which includes a ballroom, an art gallery as well as the Mayor's office which features a beautiful view that overlooks the town.
Built in 1925 by Gilbert Saunders, the 400 seat auditorium featured many notable actors back in the day, including Joan Crawford and Roy Rogers. The theater will host the Mrs. Virginia Pageant as well as other events in 2011. The future looks bright for this restored treasure of South Hill and Southside Virginia.
Congratulations to the Town of South Hill, and all those who played a part in the restoration of this beautiful theatre.
