Columbus Theatre, Historic theater in Providence, Rhode Island, United States
The Columbus Theatre, located in Federal Hill, contains two separate performance spaces with a combined capacity of 1,200 seats across multiple levels.
Opening its doors in 1926, the Columbus Theatre served the Italian immigrant population of Providence with films and vaudeville performances.
The theater maintains its original architectural features, including ornate plasterwork, decorative moldings, and a grand proscenium arch framing the main stage.
The building houses two performance spaces: the main auditorium with 800 seats and an upstairs cinema that accommodates 200 viewers.
The theater features an original Wurlitzer pipe organ from 1926, which remains functional for contemporary film screenings and musical performances.
