The Jefferson Theatre

Last night Bessie and I went to The Jefferson Theatre downtown to see Tapes 'n Tapes, a rock band from Minneapolis. We had the best time! The Jefferson is housed in a wonderful old building right on the mall: 10 E. Main Street 




I was lucky enough to win a pair of tickets through the C'ville Niche, a very great Charlottesville resource for things to do around town!  The C'ville Niche Buzz is a weekly newsletter that informs students and C'ville residents one special thing happening on each day of the week. 




Tickets can be purchased online before the concert for a lower rate, or at the door. I suggest trying to get tickets ahead of time because some shows sell out quickly! Bessie and I were a tad bit early... doors opened at 8, we were there at 8. Opening acts didn't start until 9 so now we know to come a little after doors open, unless you are a huge, huge fan! We had a good time regardless, looking at the band shirts, CDs, stickers, and posters that were offered for sale.  I really enjoyed the display of goodies last night...




Once inside you are stamped with a Jefferson Theatre seal. This allows guests to leave the theatre throughout the night and re-enter. If you are 21 or older you receive a wrist band which allows you access to the bar. I love the red draping, perfect for the theatre setting 




Shows at the Jefferson are general admission and for the most part standing only. This makes for a fun atmosphere and lively crowd! There are also two balconies at the theatre that offer great views of the stage. I love the historic aspects of the buildings that have been renovated so wonderfully. 


can't you tell we were early?!


The Jefferson has a great spring calender with multiple shows a week. I am really excited for Yonder Mountain String Band as well as others that are coming up soon! Concerts are on the calender until the end of April so you can really plan ahead. 




Check out The Jefferson Theatre downtown for a fun night out with friends. You can grab dinner nearby and make a night of it!

Have a Tremendous Tuesday... and check back soon!
