Altria Theater

Located in the heart of VCU's campus, the Altria Theater, formerly The Mosque, is one of the best known and most striking buildings in Richmond. Built in 1926, The Altria Theater plays host to a variety of events including Broadway, The Richmond Forum, concerts, comedians, children’s theater, lectures, school commencements and fashion shows. Some of America's greatest entertainers have appeared on stage beneath its towering minarets and desert murals. With seating capacity at 3,600 and a stage to accommodate the largest productions, this theater is a great complement to our sister venue downtown, Dominion Energy Center.
