222 Bull Street (Chippewa Square)

The Savannah Theatre is one of the oldest continually-operating theatres in the country. It first opened its doors on December 4, 1818 with a production of the comedy "The Soldier's Daughter" and a farce "Raising the Wind".
The original structure suffered severe damage due to a hurricane that hit Savannah on August 31, 1898, tearing sections of the roof off the building and flooding the auditorium.
The theatre has had several changes due to damage from fires in 1906 abd 1948. After the fire in 1948 the theatre was remodeled to its current deco style. The theatre re-opened in the fall 1950 as a movie house.
