About Acuff Theatre - TN

The Roy Acuff Theatre, later known as the BellSouth Acuff Theatre, was a historic on-site venue within the Opryland U.S.A. complex in Nashville, Tennessee. Though demolished in 2011 after flood damage from the 2010 Tennessee floods, the site remains a meaningful part of Nashville’s entertainment legacy. This page provides a complete overview of the former venue, including seating information, parking, transportation, and nearby lodging and dining options for visitors exploring the Opryland area.

Located at approximately 2804 Opryland Drive, the theatre was named in honor of country legend Roy Acuff and hosted productions such as Country Music USA and events associated with the early era of Nashville Star. While the theatre itself is no longer active, nearby venues like Grand Ole Opry continue to host world-class country performances, making the Opryland area a lasting hub for music and entertainment.
