About me: Since its construction in 1855-1858, the Thalian Hall/City Hall building has had the unusual distinction of serving as both the area’s political and cultural center. Listed with the National Register for Historic Places and with the North Carolina Division of Archives and History, Thalian Hall is the only surviving theatre designed by John Montague Trimble, one of America’s foremost 19th-century theatre architects.
Today, Thalian Hall remains as its builders intended- a grand and welcoming symbol of Wilmington’s pride in its cultural achievement and home to a lively array of locally presented and national attractions in the performing arts. For generations to come there are new memories to be made at historic Thalian Hall –nights one will always remember in a place one will never forget.
