ALABAMA THEATRE (1817 Third Avenue North)
The Alabama Theatre was built in 1927 by Paramount Studios as an Alabama showcase for Paramount films. It was used primarily as a movie palace for 55 years, with the exception of the annual Miss Alabama pagent and the weekly Mickey Mouse Club. In 1987, the owners of the facility declared bankruptcy and the theatre was purchased by Birmingham Landmarks Inc., a non-profit corporation. The new Alabama Theatre for the Performing Arts hosts many live events, as well as films. Each year the Theatre hosts over 300 events attended by a half million Birmingham area citizens. In 1998, the Theatre underwent a complete front door to back door restoration. The work was done by EverGreene Studios from New York City. In 8 months, the theatre went from its look of faded grandeur to a sparkling 1927 look with all the gold leaf paint either replaced or cleaned. In addition to the restoration, new carpet was installed in the ladies lounge and new drapes were installed on the stage and organ chambers.

CARVER THEATRE (1631 Fourth Avenue North)
The Carver Theatre for the Performing Arts was erected in 1935. The theatre design was redrawn in 1945 at a cost of $160,000. It incorporated all of the modern comforts and features, including 1,300 of the latest model theatre chairs and the newest development in air conditioning, sound, and projection as reported in a 1945 edition of the Birmingham News. The Carver was one of several theatres in the Fourth Avenue area offering first-run movies to African-Americans. The City of Birmingham began the renovation of the Carver Theatre as a performing arts theatre and the new home of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame and museum in 1990. The Carver Theatre operates as a non-profit, multi-use community theatre, open for bookings by local and national groups. It has become a popular venue not only for local jazz artists, but for the local comedy and spoken word scene as well. We have played host to jazz legends such as Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton. Hosting events from theatrical performances to jazz jam sessions to swing dance classes, the Carver Theatre opens its doors to the very best in entertainment.

CIVIL RIGHTS INSTITUTE (520 Sixteenth Street North)
The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI) documents the struggle of African-American citizens in Birmingham to become full participants in the city's government and business community. Because this struggle was a social movement that caught the attention of the world, Birmingham is an appropriate place for an institution that serves the world as a center for study and reflection. The BCRI is both a museum and an Institute. As it provides the world a forum for reflection, study and dialogue on matters related to civil and human rights, the BCRI exists as a "living institution" of national and international scope.

The speakeasy is a roaring good time! Soldiers, gangsters and call-girls are all welcome, along with the suits/ties and barhoppers.
