About Tidewater Community College

The Jeanne and George Roper Performing Arts Center sits on the Tidewater Community College campus in downtown Norfolk, housed in the historic building that began as the Loews State Theater (1926) and was restored and renamed around 2001. With a proscenium stage and seating for approximately 900 (862 fixed seats plus room for up to 38 additional seats), this venue offered intimate, high-quality productions before temporarily closing for structural repairs in January 2025. As of now, a reopening date has not been announced, and a structural study was planned to begin in late 2024.
