Magnificent Theater with Magnificent Historical Values
Originally this was named as Carpenter Center for the Performing Arts. The Carpenter Center was constructed way back in 1927 and begun its operation in 1928. It started its purpose as the venue for performing arts in Virginia.
In the early 2000s, it merged with the Virginia Center for the Performing Arts Foundation which as partners were able to acquire the lot adjacent to its position. With this strategic plan for upgrade, the Carpenter Center was then able to materialize its goal of a broader performing arts in Virginia. So did it happen, on September 12, 2009 this theater made its lavish opening. This year in 2013, it is once more expanding and has allocated around $50 million dollars for the restoration and renovation of its acquired the Landmark Theater. This massive VA opera theater expansion will soon be completed in three years' time.
