About The Historic Carver Theater
The Historic Carver Theater was originally opened in 1950 as a single screen movie theater for the sole purpose of serving the African American community of New Orleans by offering them a safe place to freely watch movies, hold concerts, have school talent shows and more. After being totally devistated as a result of hurricane Katrina in 2005, the then "Carver Theater" was completely remodeled in 2014 and converted into a true Performing Arts Theater and multi-use event center . The building is also listed on the National Historic Registry. The main hall can hold approx 900 people standing, 500 in theater style seating, or approx 350 seated at 60" round tables. The venue also features a fully functional performing arts theater style large stage, FOH/ DJ booth, Professional Concert Rated Meyer PA/Audio System, Professional Stage & DMX Lighting System, Live Streaming and Video Production facility. All on-site and ready for your next event. It also offers a separate 1st floor and 2nd floor bar & lounge area to keep the hum of your guests ovdering drinks seperate from your stage play, concert, or dance recital. There is plenty of lit, safe, off-street parking. The Historic Carver Theater is located within minutes of the French Quarter and Downtown in the world famous Treme' neighborhood of New Orleans. We offer very reasonable rates compared to other venues of the same caliber, making it a perfect location for wedding receptions, corporate events, film festivals, music conferences and other art-related events and private video, movie, and series video shoots.
