The Savannah Theatre, first opened in 1818 and is located on Chippewa Square in Savannah, Georgia, is one of the United States’ oldest continually-operating theatres. The structure has been both a live performance venue and a movie theater. Since 2002, the theatre has hosted regular performances of a variety of shows, primarily music revues.
 
History
The Savannah Theatre opened its doors December 4, 1818 with a performance of “The Soldier’s Daughter”. The original structure was designed by British architect William Jay, whose other notable works include the Telfair Mansion and the Owens-Thomas House, both located in Savannah. During the 1850s and 1860s, it was sometimes known as the Athenaeum. On March 21, 1861, Alexander H. Stephens delivered the Cornerstone Speech at the theatre.
 
Notable players
Over the past two centuries, the Savannah Theatre has showcased an array of talented performers, including Fanny Davenport, E. H. Sothern, Julia Marlowe, Otis Skinner, Oscar Wilde, Sarah Bernhardt, W. C. Fields, Tyrone Power, and Lillian Russell. Edwin Booth played several engagements at the Theatre in February 1876, with Shakespearean roles including Hamlet, Iago, and King Lear. It is unknown as to whether or not Edwin’s younger brother John Wilkes Booth ever performed at the Savannah Theatre.
 
In 1851, the New York Dramatic Company leased the Theatre briefly. Among the players was Joseph Jefferson, whose most well-known role was that of Washington Irving’s “Rip Van Winkle”. However the company’s stand failed to succeed, as their “lineup of standard hits failed to tempt Savannah audiences.”
 
One of the more memorable performances in the Theatre’s history came in November 1911, when baseball great Ty Cobb appeared in The College Widow.
