Fodor's Expert Review Gervais Center

Since the 19th century, a live performance and musical theater has sat where the modern Gervais Center sits today. The theater started showing films at the beginning of the 20th century, until it officially became the city cinema in the 1950s. In 2012, the original building was demolished, then in 2017 the current contemporary performance house opened, offering a vibrant year-round schedule of regional musical theater, plays, concerts, opera, festivals, and movie screenings.
