Opened in 1921, The Victory Theatre is a 1,950-seat venue in Evansville, Indiana, that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is home to the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra and hosts local ballet and modern dance companies, and a variety of events from rock concerts to Tony Bennett.
In the 1920’s The Victory featured a daily program of four vaudeville acts, a movie, a comedy routine, organ music, and a ten-piece orchestra. In 1928 the Victory featured Evansville’s first “talking picture” movie. The theater was restored to its former glory and reopened in 1998 after a $15 million renovation. As a result of this renovation, a banquet room was added to accommodate over 250 for receptions, meetings, and other events.
