W. L. Lyons Brown Theatre

The Brown Theatre opened in 1925 with Elsie Janis in a revue called Puzzles. The theater is named for J. Graham Brown, Indiana native and longtime Louisville resident. Modeled after New York’s famous Music Box Theatre, the Brown boasts a 40’ x 40’ stage that was equal to anything in New York except for the Hippodrome.

Plan Your Visit

We look forward to seeing you at the historic Brown Theatre on Broadway. Downtown Louisville is busier than ever! With increased traffic in the downtown area, we suggest you prepare to arrive early and stay late to avoid delays. Consider our preferred restaurants as a place to meet your friends before or after the show!
