Yes, it’s true. The Joy Theater is going to open on December 29, 2011. It is locally owned and operated. The new owners have completely renovated the venue and made it a multipurpose entertainment venue. They retained the balcony and have added a bar, an elevator and permanent seats. They added a stage, a state of the art sound and video system. The floors on the first floor will be removable so you can add a dance floor or have a reception.

Opening night: Irma Thomas (12/29), Soul Rebels (12/30), and Kermit Ruffins (12/31). Tickets are going on sale 12/1. We are active on Facebook/thejoytheater. And the website will be up next week.

Most importantly, the marquee is being restored and returned to Canal Street during the second week of December!
