The Victory Theatre
is a 1,950 seat venue in Evansville, Indiana. It is home to the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra and also hosts local ballet and modern dance companies, theatre companies, and touring productions. [1]
Opened on June 16, 1921, the Victory was built to present movies and Vaudeville, and originally seated 2,500 patrons. It was part of a complex which included the Sonntag Hotel. Originally operated by Consolidated Theatres Corporation, it was later leased to Loews Theatres, which operated the venue as Loew's Victory Theatre until 1971. As the independent Victory Theatre it was divided into a triplex, but was closed in 1979. [2] The theater was restored to its former glory and reopened in 1998 after a $15 million renovation.
The Victory was designed by architect John Pridmore. The exterior is in the restrained style characteristic of commercial buildings of the era, but the auditorium is more ornate. The stage, 68 feet wide and 82 feet deep, was at the time it was built one of the largest in the Midwest. [3] In 1982 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. [4]
It is co-managed with Roberts Stadium, Mesker Amphitheatre, and The Centre.
