Historic Tennessee Theatre ~ Est. 1928
I remember going to movies at this theatre as a child. My husband and I have attended Knoxville Symphony Orchestra performances here. The absolute beauty and grandeur of this theatre is breathtaking. Someday I hope to once again see inside . . . and maybe be able to take some photos.

"With gratitude and great pleasure I would like to pass the award to these photography bloggers:
Hope of Knoxville Daily Photo. Hope can squeeze images out of her Nikon Coolpix that will astonish you. The photographs of her kids capture the essence of childhood and a mother's love with the same poignancy and joy of the paintings of Mary Cassatt..."
Tanya and Laurie . . . . I am truly honored and flattered that you have chosen me to receive this award. Sincere thanks to both of you for this award and your nice comments!

I love old theaters. That one is beautiful!
I like the 'Tennasse' sign! Hope you can shows us the inside someday :-)
Do they show movies anymore? Or is just for performances, now?
Hi Boise Diva,
Yes, movies are still shown here occasionally. "Rocky Horror Picture Show" will be shown soon. Also, some upcoming performances are "Hairspray" and "Stomp." The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra also plays here often.
The interior of this theatre is breathtaking! It's absolutely stunning! I would love to wander inside and take some photos. Maybe, someday, I'll try to do that.
I too love old theaters. I hope you get inside someday soon.
I like it that so many cities have similar famous identifying theaters ... symbols of a bygone era.
Rainy day in Montreal ... a little time to catchup with CDP blogs :)
Now I've discovered your blog and love it. I used to do a little business in TN and fell in love with the state and people. Never been to Knoxville; only Memphis and Nashville. Great shot of the theater--I'll add you to my list!
I think I've seen similar vintage theaters in Indiana... It's so nice that this one is in great condition and is very much in use. Would love to see the interior photos!
Oh, I'd love to see inside. Great shot of this beautiful old theater.
I shall like to visit the inside of the theater because the facade is magnificent
That is a very cool sign. Any chance we could see it all lit up at night?
Hi Eric...I could arrange a night shot...just be patient...I have 2 young children and sometimes it's hard for me to get out at night. But I will certainly try on this! I promise!
