A Magical Venue

Augusta’s Imperial Theatre began in 1917 as a vaudeville showcase, and is now the premier performing arts venue for the Augusta Ballet, Augusta Opera, Augusta Players and the Augusta Jazz. As a vibrant arena for entertainment, the Imperial Theatre offers a full season of musicals, dance, concerts, comedy and more.

The Imperial is centrally located and within walking distance of Augusta River Walk, historic Cotton Exchange, Morris Museum of Art, and Augusta Museum of History.

We’re excited to host Web Afternoon Augusta in such a charismatic venue.
