The Byrd Theatre

The Byrd Theatre is a landmark independent cinema in Richmond, Virginia, opened in 1928 as the city's grand movie palace. Its opulent French Empire auditorium, crystal chandelier, and Mighty Wurlitzer organ, played live before screenings, frame a lineup of second-run and repertory films. Run by a nonprofit foundation, this Carytown treasure shows movies 365 days a year for about nine dollars.
