About Carolina Theatre - Durham

The Carolina Theatre in Durham is a historic performing-arts and cinema complex owned by the City of Durham and operated by The Carolina Theatre of Durham, Inc. Opened in 1926 as Durham Auditorium, it underwent a major renovation around 2011 and continues to host live performances, film screenings, and special events. The venue comprises Fletcher Hall with 1,048 seats and two intimate cinemas (Cinema One with 226 seats and Cinema Two with 49 seats), totaling 1,323 seats. Located at 309 W Morgan St in downtown Durham, it’s a centerpiece for arts and culture in the Triangle.

Whether you’re catching a comedian, a musician, a dance performance, or a classic film series, we’ve got you covered with practical details to secure your seats and plan your visit.

Parking options include the nearby Durham Centre Parking Garage at 300 W Morgan St and on-street metered parking within walking distance. Downtown transit can be busy around events, so many guests opt for taxi or rideshare services. GoDurham buses also serve the area for affordable travel.
