Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame

The Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame is a museum in Tuscaloosa dedicated to entertainment history connected to the state. Its collections feature photographs, costumes, and memorabilia from actors, directors, and other performers who have ties to Alabama.

The museum was created in 1998 through a partnership between Theatre Tuscaloosa and Shelton State Community College. The first induction ceremony took place in 1999 and established the annual tradition of honoring entertainment professionals from the state.
