About the Casino Theatre Concert Series
Originally constructed in 1880 and restored and re-opened in 2010, the 295-seat Casino Theatre offers a grand atmosphere reminiscent of Newport's Gilded Age history, but provides an intimate musical experience. The venue offers three levels of seating, all in close proximity to the stage. Over the years, the venue has hosted entertainment ranging from theatrical performances to live music to ballroom dancing. The theatre was closed for 30 years, until 2010, when the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum partnered with Salve Regina University to restore the facility to its original grandeur. Following the award-winning restoration, the University began using the theatre for their Performing Arts Department and the Hall of Fame has utilized it to host numerous public events.
The Casino Theatre Concert Series is proudly supported by WMVY radio.
Proceeds of the Casino Theatre Concert Series will benefit the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to preserving the history of tennis, honoring the greatest legends of the sport, and maintaining the Newport Casino, a National Historic Landmark and architectural masterpiece in Newport, R.I. which hosted the first U.S. National Lawn Tennis Championships in 1881 and now houses the Hall of Fame & Museum.
