The Georgiana Opry House
Open to the Public for Rental
The Georgiana Opry House was first open January 31, 1939 as the GA-ANA Theater. Georgiana Alabama was a prosperous railroad town. The GA-ANA had a movie screen, as well as a stage for traveling vaudeville shows and musical acts. Hank Williams Sr. performed here on November 5 of that same year. He was 16 years old. Young Hank walked the sidewalks of his childhood hometown that afternoon advertising his upcoming evening show with the Drifting Cowboys band by handing out show bills.
The stage is filled with many artist names who have entertained Georgiana, Alabama and its visitors throughout the years, as well as Hank’s star, that Pee-wee Moultrie returned to play the stage and helped to design 60 years later.
