The Venue
Live Music in Charlotte's Noda
Originally built as a movie theater in 1945 (Astor Theatre), it closed in the late 1970s. Neighborhood Theatre underwent restoration in 1997 and was converted into a live performance venue. Neighborhood Theatre is a live music venue hosting local and national acts. We are located in NoDa, Charlotte’s historic arts district, filled with restaurants, shops and bars. Neighborhood Theatre is the perfect setting to see a show from an old favorite or to discover a new band that energizes and excites you.
Neighborhood Theatre serves as the community anchor for Charlotte's vibrant and walkable NODA historic arts district, where it sits alongside some of the city's most beloved shops, bars and restaurants. Originally built as the Astor Theatre in 1945 as part of the post-war movie theater boom, Neighborhood Theatre was converted into one of the nation's premier live concert venues in 1997, and now features a small room for up-and-coming acts, and a main room which plays host to touring acts as exciting as the neighborhood it calls home. We welcome you to enjoy both old favorites and find new discoveries in the city's favorite venue with something for everyone.
Neighborhood Theatre is an independent music venue with a diverse lineup of acts…something for everyone. We welcome you to come and enjoy live music with us.
The Theatre is handicap accessible and non-smoking.
