Carver Theater, Historical movie theater in New Orleans, United States.
The Carver Theater stands at 2101 Orleans Avenue with a capacity of 1200 seats and maintains its original exterior architectural features from 1950.
Built in 1950 as a facility for Black audiences, the Carver Theater received recognition through its listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The theater transformed from a movie venue to a performing arts center, hosting concerts, plays, dance recitals, and Mardi Gras balls throughout its existence.
Following an 8 million dollar renovation in 2014, the theater now accepts reservations for private events, corporate functions, and community gatherings.
Hurricane Katrina filled the building with six feet of water, leading to a complete reconstruction while preserving the original movie poster display windows.
