Welcome to the Chevalier Theatre Web Site!

The Chevalier Theatre is actually three theaters in one! It's a full stage theater available for rent to concerts, shows, recitals, dance troupes, corporate meetings and any theatrical event. It's a stage theater with performances open to the public (see our events page), and it is an ongoing historical restoration project- your tax deductible donation is appreciated!

Building and History:

The Theatre is a steel concrete structure with Greek Revival exterior and Art Deco interior (take a tour!). It was named for and dedicated to the World War I flying Ace and hero, Godfrey Chevalier (the first man to land a plane on an aircraft carrier). The theater is a protected historical site.

Please use the navigation at the left (or at the bottom of every page) to take a look at all the Chevalier has to offer you in a rental theater, take an interactive tour of the house, read the specifications, learn the history of this great art deco building and even discover the "phantom" (could it be Godfrey himself?)!
