| dbo:abstract | Das Altria Theater in Richmond, Virginia, bis 1994 The Mosque (die Moschee), bis 2013 Landmark Theater, ist ein Veranstaltungsgebäude in der südwestlichen Ecke des Monroe Parks. Es wurde in einem orientalisierenden Baustil 1926 als Tempel und Freizeitgebäude der Shriners (einer Art Freimaurer) erbaut und mit einer Galavorstellung der Opernsängerin Ernestine Schumann-Heink eröffnet. Nach den ursprünglichen Plänen des Erbauers Clinton. L. Williams sollte das Bauwerk ein Theater mit 4600 Plätzen, 42 Hotelzimmern, ein Fitness-Center mit Pool, Kegelbahnen und ein Restaurant enthalten. 1940 wurde das Gebäude von der Stadt Richmond erworben. Es besitzt einen Ballsaal für etwa 1000 Personen und einen Theatersaal mit 3'565 Sitzplätzen (Stand 2015). Den Namen Landmark bekam es nach einem Umbau im Jahr 1995, da das Gebäude niemals religiöse Zwecke hatte und man sensibler gegenüber orientalisierenden Namen geworden war. Den Namen Altria nach dem Sponsor Altria Group bekam es nach einer Renovierung im Jahr 2014. Das Gebäude wird für Theater- und Konzertveranstaltungen genutzt. Es war der Ort zahlreicher historischer Konzerte wie von Frank Sinatra 1941, Elvis Presley 1956 oder Jimi Hendrix 1968. (de) The Altria Theater in Richmond, Virginia, United States is a theater at the southwest corner of Monroe Park on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, and is the largest venue of Richmond CenterStage's performing arts complex. Formerly known as The Mosque and the Landmark Theater, the Altria Theater was originally built for Shriners of the Acca Temple Shrine. In 1940, the building was purchased by the City of Richmond, which converted much of its interior for municipal use. The Richmond Police Department occupied the theater's basement, where they opened up office space, classrooms, a gymnasium, and a shooting range for the police academy. An underground swimming pool was also maintained, initially for training purposes, until it was filled in with concrete during the 2014 renovation. Many are familiar with the basement of the Mosque as the location for VCU class registration, which occurred several times each year. The name of the theater was changed in 1995 from "The Mosque" to "Landmark Theater" following a year of restoration. After a $10 million renovation gift from the company, the theater was officially dubbed the Altria Theater in February 2014. It annually plays host to big-name musical and theatrical performers. The theater was designed in Moorish Revival style by Marcellus E. Wright Sr. in association with Charles M. Robinson and Charles Custer Robinson circa 1925. J. R. Ray, of the Richmond Tile and Mosaic Works, was responsible for the widely used ornamental tile, and J. Frank Jones, of the Rambusch Decorating Company, oversaw the interior decoration. The building officially opened in 1927, and was dedicated by the Shriners in 1928. Performers such as Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Burr, Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Roy Buchanan, B B King, Widespread Panic and The Supremes held shows at this venue. Notable Broadway performances such as Wicked, The Lion King, Les Miserables, and Cats have also been past visitors of The Altria Theater.
