The performing arts are alive and abundant in the historic Carolina Theatre, a renovated Beaux Arts auditorium. Built in 1926, the Carolina is the only theater remaining of 13 original theaters in Durham. Home to the Durham Symphony Orchestra, the Carolina also features other live performances and films.
Films are shown in the two art cinemas within the Carolina. The cinemas host a variety of film festivals, including the Annual Nevermore Horror, Gothic & Fantasy Film Festival, and the Annual North Carolina Jewish Film Festival. Live performances—from opera to jazz artists to leading dance companies to the Symphony Orchestra—are featured in the 1,016-seat Fletcher Hall.
