One of Hampton Roads' greatest treasures, the Attucks Theatre, turns 100 years old. Musicians of the greatest caliber have performed at the Attucks, legends like Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole just to name a few. The 600 seat venue was an instant source of pride to Norfolk's Black Community. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. "The Historic Attucks Theatre: Apollo of the South" was produced in partnership with the City of Norfolk, Norfolk State University, and the Virginia Arts Festival.
