IT'S HAPPENING DOWNTOWN!​

Somerset’s Historic Virginia Theater is Your Place to Find Music, Classic Movies, Theater, Stage Artists, and More.

A LEGACY OF ENTERTAINMENT SINCE 1922

That feeling you get when seeing the curtains drawn or hearing the first notes of an opening song is a feeling that is nothing new at The Virginia. Though a lot has changed since the doors first opened in 1922, those feelings endured. On The Virginia’s 100th anniversary, we reopened the historic space, and it became Somerset’s destination for immersive and intimate performances. With an eclectic mix of musical acts and theater performances, it’s not just the marquee lights that earn The Virginia its title: “The Shining Star of Somerset.”

Curate a magical experience like no other at the “shining star” of downtown Somerset. Our historic venue is truly a destination that will transform into the unique vision you have for all of your special moments to come.

What are you in the mood for?

A Boutique theater

The Virginia is an intimate space where any viewpoint feels front and center. Our shows typically offer general admission standing room only. However, seating arrangements may vary for certain performances, depending on the production and orchestra.
