Lucas Theatre

The Lucas Theatre is a theater on Abercorn Street in Reynolds Square, Savannah, Georgia, United States.

[2] The Lucas Theatre was designed by architect Claude K. Howell in the Spanish Baroque style[3] and opened to the public on December 26, 1921.

[2] Following World War II, downtown Savannah experienced a downturn, and the theater deteriorated.

[7] In 1986, it was slated to be demolished and replaced by a parking garage,[1][2] but a group of Savannahians organized to prevent its demolition.

[3] The theatre's Wurlitzer organ, produced in 1925, had been disassembled, stored in a barn, and damaged in a fire; with the assistance of the American Theatre Organ Society, it was restored and reinstalled in the theater in 2023, with seven ranks of pipes added to the original eleven.
