Full Description
Since opening as the Hillsboro Theatre in 1925, Nashville's Belcourt Theatre has hosted vaudeville, live theater, concerts, and films, establishing itself as a cornerstone of local entertainment and serving as an incubator of talent by helping to foster the careers of generations of stage, radio, film, and television professionals, such as Lark Taylor, Madge West Joseph, Delbert Mann, Dinah Shore, and Minnie Pearl. Throughout many decades, it has endured and adapted to industry shifts, including the rise of television and global cinema and the emergence of multi-screen cineplexes.
And yet, its story has remained largely untold. Now, T. Minton has penned the definitive history of one of Nashville's most beloved cultural institutions.
