The partially restored Sunset Theatre’s re-opening by the City in 2008 represented a turning point in the life of Asheboro’s downtown. Asheboro’s Next Act? It’s to finish the job. It’s to complete the transformation of this historic theatre into a full-fledged performing arts center.

Asheboro and Randolph Country enjoy a rich theatre tradition. Programs sponsored by the City, our community theatre, the regular Friday night Bluegrass performances and special events provide educational and entertainment opportunities for people young and old alike.

With the transformation of Sunset Theatre into a first–rate performing arts center, the performing arts in Asheboro and Randolph County finally will have a real home downtown. Residents and visitors will have a new destination. And the fond memories of the Theatre held by its patrons will make way for new memories of future generations.
