The Virginia Theatre (Somerset, KY) | Kentucky Life | KET

The Virginia Cinema first opened its doors to the public in 1922. For decades, it operated as one of Somerset’s downtown movie theaters, until in 1994, the theater closed. What was once an iconic part of Somerset’s downtown life, became a worn-down husk for a bygone era. Now, 100 years later, the city of Somerset has taken a tremendous step forward in fulfilling the community’s impassioned wish to see the Virginia open once again.
