The Historic Masonic Theatre is an architectural treasure. A three-story, Beaux Arts brick building with pilastered facade, a cove ceiling lobby and original performance hall with stage and balcony, the historic theatre is a performing arts, entertainment, education, and community facility.
Steeped in local history, the Historic Masonic Theatre remained the oldest continuously operating theatre in the Commonwealth of Virginia until closing its doors temporarily in 1987. In 1990, the theatre re-opened under the direction of Appalfolks of America. In 2003, Appalfolks generously donated the Masonic Theatre to the town of Clifton Forge, while continuing to offer performances to the community. The Masonic Theatre Preservation Foundation was formed in 2009. Today, the Masonic Theatre Preservation Foundation has raised 6.3 million dollars and the Historic Masonic Theatre is restored to its former glory. The Theatre stands as a testament to the vision of earlier citizens of the area who sought to foster entertainment opportunities and community fellowship.
