LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
If time travel was possible outside of the movies, and we could bring the Richmonders
who watched the first “talkies” to the present-day Byrd Theatre, I’m sure they would be
thrilled to discover that the Byrd is stronger than ever — ready for another 90 years.
The Byrd is beloved in a way that outshines our great programing, our tasty
concessions, and our amazing decorated interior. It is a community, and it encloses the
collective memories of nine decades of shared experiences, with the promise of many
more. I would like to thank all of you who supported the Byrd Theatre Foundation in
2017. The enhancements to our programming and facilities are only possible with your
Gibson Worsham, President contributions. You are the true superheroes of the Byrd Theatre!
Byrd Theatre Foundation Even if you are a regular member of our audience, I think you’ll be amazed at
everything that takes place in our beautiful theater. We entertain with award-winning
second-run and classic movies, organ performances, curated special programs, and
family films on weekend mornings. We pair films with discussions that inform and
engage our audiences — sharing insights on a range of topics and social issues. We
partner with, and serve, our community — hosting film festivals, concerts, tributes,
celebrations, and, every now and then, a marriage proposal.
We want everyone to enjoy the Byrd! I am proud to say that the Byrd Theatre is

The Virginia War Memorial hosted a
public screening of the movie A League
of Their Own at the Byrd.
“We chose to show A League of Their
Own because it’s a movie that touches
significantly on the themes that we try to
teach students and adults about WWII
– the ways the lives of women and men
on the home front were affected by the
war, even indirectly; women taking over
roles that men had filled; the difficulty
of communicating overseas; and
propaganda.”
Over 1,000 people attended two special Above L-R: Brenna Magette, Mary-Michael
screenings of the uniquely animated film Morgan Guyer Wachur, and Kate Belleman from the
Loving Vincent in partnership with the Assistant Director of Education Virginia War Memorial Foundation.
