History

Established in 1925.

First opened as the Hillsboro Theatre and showed silent movies. In the 1930s, had the first performance of the Children’t Theatre of Nashville and was home to the Grand Olé Opry for two year. Returned to its original use as a movie house in 1966. In the late 1990s, the theatre was almost shut down for good, but grassroots campaign resulted in the formation of a nonprofit organization – and one of the organization’s founders purchased the theatre, and then sold it back to the nonprofit. Today, the Belcourt Theatre thrives in the heart of Nashville’s Hillsboro Village neighborhood.
