We just completed the photo shoot for the newly revamped Jefferson Theater, and with the grand opening this Friday (November 27th), there is quite a bit of work to be completed. The latest addition to the Capshaw empire features a 750 person capacity, two bars, and a full kitchen/restaurant area, headed up by none other than Alex George of Just Curry fame.
Sons of Bill with Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit will be kicking things off, and Trees on Fire with Astronomers (Nate, one of our own cVillain music writers) & THRUM will pushing the new sound system this Saturday. Tickets are available online, through 800-594-TIXX or in person at Area Plan 9 Music Stores, The Downtown Visitors Center & Crossroad Music Stores. [Info]

Holy shit they have a lot of work to do before Friday! The bar isn’t even done!
Of the other three news agencies which have ’shot’ the place, I’m floored that here haven’t been any ACTUAL INTERIOR pics which showed the space! There were roughly 30 workers cranking away today, and it will be a few weeks before all of the final touches go in.
It looks like it’s going to be a cool space.. However, will there still be table saws and dust on the floor on Friday? Will the bar be complete? Friday is the Grand Opening
Nice photoset- didn’t even know this site was still alive-
of course it looks like a zombie site
Are they trying to copy the look of The National in Richmond VA???? Well if they are they suck at it because Cville just sucks in general and Trees on Fire for the opening of the place?????????? Pshhhhhhhh sticks up nose like all the other uva people.
Tx for the awesome photos. What an extraordinary amount of work to restore The Jefferson. Hope there’s a full report about the grand opening posted here.
