Mission Statement
The Virginia Samford Theatre’s mission is to further the cultural opportunities for the Greater Birmingham community through arts education and performances of high artistic merit in Theatre, Music, and Dance. The historic multi-purpose arts facility actively encourages participation in a diverse range of arts performances and educational services, providing a fertile foundation for community growth in Birmingham with access for all citizens.

In 1927, a new cultural destination opened its doors in Birmingham. This intimate theater brought together a wide range of the community’s residents to enjoy thought-provoking new performances and soul-stirring classics. Much has changed about Birmingham in the years since, but the venue now known as the Virginia Samford Theatre remains a singular hub of creative insight and diverse entertainment.

So join us for an incredible year of music, comedy and drama!
