Virginia Currents features the restored Historic Academy Theatre in Lynchburg.
After being closed for 60 years, in 2018 the Historic Academy Theatre in Lynchburg opened its doors. We take a peek inside this theatre that had suffered damage in the past from fire, weather, and other elements, but now has been fully renovated and seats 800. During our visit we see how this landmark plays a vital role in the revitalization of historic downtown Lynchburg.
