Mission Accomplished

On January 11, 1978, the Georgia Theatre opened as a music venue with a performance by famed Athens band, Sea Level.  Today - 33 years, 6 months, 22 days later - marks the grand opening of the second iteration of the Theatre with a performance by another great Athens band, The Glands.  We are thrilled and proud to be able to continue the legacy of the Athens music scene and the great Georgia Theatre!

Many thanks to WUGA-TV for producing this great documentary about the rebuilding of the Theatre featuring interviews from local artists and celebrities!
