The oldest operating theatre in Tuscaloosa. In 1938, the Bama Theatre served as the community’s grand movie house, as well as the only air conditioned building at that time. The theatre was one of the last movie palaces built in the South. The building is an odd but interesting mixture of Art Deco style, popular during the period and the lavish atmospheric style of theatre architec-ture popular in the 1920’s. The interior is decorated in the Moorish style of Renais-sance Spain. The house of the theatre is actually a reproduction of the courtyard of the Davanzati Palace of Florence, Italy. The entire orchestra and balcony sections are decorated as a Spanish courtyard, complete with balconies and ironwork. Twinkling stars and clouds on the night sky ceiling complete the open air feel of the performance hall.
