an affair to remember THE LUCAS THEATRE IS NESTLED COMFORTABLY IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN SAVANNAH. THIS BEAUTIFUL AND HISTORIC THEATER IS AVAILABLE FOR PRIVATE EVENTS AND WEDDINGS, AND IS FULLY EQUIPPED WITH PROFESSIONAL AUDIO-VISUAL EQUIPMENT TO MAKE YOUR BIG DAY THAT MUCH MORE UNIQUE. The Lucas Theatre opened in 1921 as a preeminent venue for films and performing arts. More than 90 years later, it hosts concerts, live theater, opera, and films from eras past and present. The theater’s design was a culmination of more than two years of collaboration between owner Arthur Lucas and architect C.K. Howell, and combined Lucas’ favorite architectural details from the Greek revival, Adams-inspired, Art Deco, and Neoclassical periods. In a time of perpetual distraction, the Lucas provides an entrancing, nostalgic escape.
