§05 / About The Jefferson Theater
Charlottesville, VA · Capacity 750 · Est. 1912
Built in 1912 as a vaudeville house on Main Street, the Jefferson sat dark for the better part of two decades before Coran Capshaw and Starr Hill Presents bought the building, gutted it, and reopened it as a 750-cap club in 2009. The pit floor pulls 600 standing; the balcony pushes another 150 with sightlines that hold up from every seat. Danny Shea has booked the room since the reopening and runs it eclectic on purpose. Indie-folk, hardcore, country, comedy, ABBA tribute. Different demo every Friday.
Production is house-PA L-Acoustics K2; backline is supplied by the artist for ticketed dates and by the room for the resident series. Load-in is Main Street, ground level, no stairs. Settlement runs same night; advances run two weeks out. The Jefferson is the only Charlottesville room that books national touring acts at the 750 mark. Everything below feeds the Southern; everything above pushes to Ting in summer.
