imperial theatre

This is a great community playhouse. It's not fancy. The Augusta Players put on 5-7 shows each year. I've always gone to see a Christmas Carol. I never get sick of it. Puts me in the holiday spirit. For a local group and under budget, the do a good job. They also host other shows from out of town. There are free children shows for the family and played by kids on some spring and summer weekends. The seats aren't fancy or plush. But, you quickly forget about the surrounding as the play begins. Definitely a must when visiting Augusta. Prices are reasonable. I always get the cheapest seat - 20$

Old historic theater down town with free on street parking we drive to shows there from Atlanta at least twice per year making the trip twice tnis month. Why! Great shows in a small theater for great ticket prices

As a performance venue, Augusta's Imperial Theatre has much to offer. Many of the decorative elements survived past renovations, evoking the theatre's more glorious past. In this intimate venue, sight lines are excellent and the sound quality is very good, although less so in the balcony. For many events, adult beverages are available in the lobby area, and you can take the beverage to your seat (few cup holders are available). All in all, the theatre is an important attraction in downtown Augusta, and one that should be better utilized. Planned renovations should enhance the theatre's appearance and improve comfort for patrons. As noted by other reviewers, parking can be a chore. I usually find a spot along 7th Avenue and walk the half block to the theatre.

This Theatre is a wonderful place to go. Our favorite is the Musical Christmas Carol....We love to have Dinner at Frog Hollow and then to the Theatre. Brings back so many memories of the beautiful old theatres.

I liked that this place has historic value and is downtown Augusta. The seats are not very comfortable and the parking is not always convenient but overall, this is a nice place to see the various shows that come to Augusta periodically.

Jeanne did a one night stop at the IT and spent a couple hours telling her stories. I'd heard several before, but there were also a number of new stories. Jeanne knows how to tell a funny tale!

Old small theater that has been saved and is gradually being restored. Great music events here at very affordable prices; gets us to drive over from Atlanta. Great seats in front rows of balcony. A nice place for a night of live music. Check out their scheduled events and enjoy

My husband and I were quite surprised at the age & the charm of this theatre, we loved it! Def will be back to see more shows! It felt like we were in somebody's living room, it had a close family feel and that was one thing that made it really special! I love buildings like this and i'm glad that its still open!

The Imperial Theatre is still a gorgeous, historic place. If you ever get the opportunity to go there for any event, please do go. Support this local icon and soak up the ambiance.

There are only four stalls in the women's bathroom. Be prepared for a LONG wait. The seating in the balcony is ripped. Paint is peeling off of the beautiful walls. It is just sad. The beauty of the facility must be revived, because the productions are top notch!

I have seen several shows at the Imperial because I live in Augusta Georgia.I really don't see anything fab about the place. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something.

I have already seen all the performances they have here many years ago. It is great for children who go on field trips. Affordable tickets but you will not find Broadway level performances here. I have heard that they are planning on renovating but things happen very slowly in this area.

Intimate, old vaudeville theatre that has been in operation since 1918. It shows a little wear, but overall is in very good shape. Great place to see live music, plays and old movies . Hosts the Southern Soul & Song series which always features some of the top names in country and bluegrass. Also the home of the Augusta Players, as well as select Westabou and Arts in the Heart performances. Not a bad seat on the floor or the mezzanine. The first balcony isn't bad either, but I wouldn't want to sit in the second balcony.

It's a good place to see a musical show or play. The seating is a little tight, but like stepping back in time.

This theater has hosted some of the biggest names in country, bluegrass, rock-and-roll. Fortunately the city has preserved it and it is used regularly.
