Message from Emily Moore

The Hippodrome Theater in Richmond's Historic Jackson Ward is a legendary spot with a rich history. Back in the day, it was the place to be for top-notch performances by icons like Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong. The theater has been beautifully restored and now serves as a unique event venue and entertainment hub. With its roots in the vibrant African American community of Jackson Ward, the Hippodrome continues to be a cultural gem where you can catch some awesome shows and enjoy a taste of history.
