About Attucks Theatre

Attucks Theatre opened in 1919 and later closed as a theater in the 1950s before being restored and reopened in 2004 after preservation efforts. Located at 1010 Church St in Norfolk, Virginia, the venue has approximately 600 seats and is owned by the City of Norfolk and operated by SevenVenues, the city’s venue management organization. Its compact scale, historic architecture, and traditional proscenium stage give events here a close, room-focused feel.

The theater is historically significant as one of the few surviving theaters in the United States financed, designed, built, and operated by African Americans. During its early decades, Attucks Theatre hosted major touring Black entertainers of the era, including performers associated with the jazz and blues circuit such as Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and others who appeared on the “Chitlin’ Circuit.” Today, it hosts concerts across jazz, R&B, soul, gospel, and blues, along with live theater, comedy, spoken word, cultural programs, community performances, and film screenings.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and celebrated for its 100-year anniversary in 2019, Attucks Theatre is also known for its hand-painted fire curtain depicting the death of Crispus Attucks, the theater’s namesake and the first casualty of the Boston Massacre.

Location & Transportation

Attucks Theatre is located at 1010 Church St, Norfolk, VA 23510 — in downtown Norfolk on Church Street.

Transit: The Tide light rail and Hampton Roads Transit bus service operate in the downtown area, with stops within walking distance of the venue. Transit is a practical option for reaching the downtown core, especially for guests who want to avoid searching for parking close to showtime.

Driving and Parking: Street parking, nearby surface lots, and downtown garages serve Attucks Theatre. The venue does not have a large dedicated on-site lot, so arriving early is helpful for downtown events and gives you more time to park, walk to the theater, and settle into your seat.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are practical at the Church Street entrance. When events let out downtown, brief waits are possible, so allowing a little extra time after the show can make departure smoother.

Nearby Accommodation: Downtown Norfolk offers numerous hotels within a short drive or walk of Attucks Theatre, including properties near the waterfront and the MacArthur Center area.

Entrances and Access: The main entrance is on Church Street, fronting the historic marquee. The single primary entrance keeps arrival straightforward for most events.

Seating Levels: Attucks Theatre uses a traditional two-level theater configuration with orchestra seating on the main floor and balcony seating above. The room is centered on the stage, with front orchestra rows closest to the performance and balcony seats offering a raised view.

Accessibility: As a city-operated public venue, accessible seating and services are available at Attucks Theatre.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and ushers assist with seating, and the theater’s intimate scale makes navigation straightforward once inside. Guests seated in the balcony should expect some interior stairs.

How Much Do Tickets to Attucks Theatre Cost?

Attucks Theatre ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from cultural programs to concerts by touring performers.

Concerts and music performances at Attucks Theatre are often priced at approximately $25 to $75, with final cost depending on the artist, demand, and whether you choose orchestra or balcony seating.

Theater, comedy, and cultural programs typically run approximately $20 to $60. Rear orchestra and balcony seats are often the most affordable, while center orchestra seats can be higher because of their strong sightlines to the stage.

Given the venue’s small capacity, popular shows can sell out, and buying earlier generally secures better seat selection. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining seats can become harder to find.

Attucks Theatre Seating Guide

Attucks Theatre has a two-level historic theater layout with orchestra seating on the main floor and balcony seating above, all oriented toward the proscenium stage. Because the venue seats approximately 600 guests, seat selection is less about navigating a massive building and more about choosing the sightline, proximity, and price point that fit your event.

Best Seats at Attucks Theatre

• Best value: Balcony and rear orchestra seats — these areas are typically the most affordable while still keeping you inside an intimate theater setting.
• Closest to the action: Front orchestra rows — these seats put you nearest the stage for concerts, spoken word, comedy, and theatrical performances.
• Best overall experience: Center orchestra seats — these offer the strongest overall sightlines to the stage and a balanced view of the full performance.
• General admission, when available: Some events may be general admission, which can create a more flexible experience than a reserved-seat performance. Many shows are reserved-seat events, so review the seating map while shopping.
