The Kimball Theatre
Located in Merchants Square, the Kimball Theatre is home to current films and live performances.

Perhaps the Peninsula’s Jewish Film Festival is in town, or maybe you’ll see players performing an 18th-century Grand Medley of Entertainments. Whatever your tastes, the Kimball Theatre is at the center of Williamsburg’s community activities. Creative programming alliances with the College of William and Mary, community organizations, and Colonial Williamsburg link our past with the present.
