Variety Playhouse, located in the Little Five Points neighborhood of Atlanta, has a history dating back to 1935 when it originally opened as a movie theatre. Over the years it transitioned through various uses, including a church and a roller rink, before being renovated and reopened as a live music venue in 1989. The venue is known for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics. It's architectural style reflects Art Deco influences with notable features including ornate detailing and a relatively small capacity – approximately 1000 standing or 750 seated – fostering close artist-audience interaction. It continues to host diverse acts spanning numerous musical genres.
