About this venue
Miller Theater is a historic theater in downtown Augusta, opened in 1940 and designed in the distinctive Art Moderne style. Its restored main auditorium, Brian J. Marks Hall, seats nearly 1,300 guests, while original features including Italian marble terrazzo, black walnut woodwork, fluted columns and hand-painted panels preserve the character of a classic American movie palace and performance venue.
The auditorium was designed to provide strong sightlines from different seating levels and excellent acoustics, complemented today by modern sound and lighting systems for concerts, theatrical productions, film screenings and other events. Guests can also find full-service bars and concession areas offering drinks, popcorn, snacks and other refreshments, while the scale of the auditorium maintains the atmosphere of a historic theater.
The venue is located at 708 Broad St, Augusta, Georgia, United States, with the main guest entrance directly on Broad Street. Miller Theater does not operate its own parking facility, but several public parking options are available within the surrounding downtown blocks, and a passenger drop-off and pick-up zone is positioned directly in front of the theater near the main entrance.

About the city
Augusta, a city in the U.S. state of Georgia on the banks of the Savannah River, combines music, sports and cultural events with a distinctive historic downtown. Augusta is known for its strong tradition of sports and music, with concerts, performances, festivals and games spread between downtown and the wider riverfront area. The historic Bell Auditorium is one of the important venues for live performances, while SRP Park, just across the river in North Augusta, South Carolina, expands the range of sporting and other events in the urban area. The combination of city amenities, restaurants, hotels and event spaces makes Augusta a practical destination for visitors who want to combine their trip with a concert or sporting event.
Getting around the city is supported by Augusta Transit, a bus system that connects different parts of Augusta and makes it easier to reach downtown, hotels and major city corridors. Visitors arriving by air use Augusta Regional Airport (AGS), with taxis and car rental services available from the airport for onward travel to downtown and event locations. Road access is further supported by Interstate 20 and Interstate 520, known as the Bobby Jones Expressway, making arenas, sports complexes and riverfront areas easy to reach from different directions. In downtown Augusta, many attractions and amenities are grouped around Broad Street and the riverfront, making it easy to combine an event with exploring the center on foot.
Before or after an event, it is worth walking along the Augusta Riverwalk beside the Savannah River, where the city waterfront connects with museums, green spaces and views toward South Carolina. Broad Street runs through the historic downtown and offers restaurants, galleries, shops and evening entertainment, while Augusta Common is an open urban space in the heart of the center. For an additional perspective on the city, visitors can also explore the Augusta Canal, one of Augusta's distinctive historic and recreational areas. A concert or sporting event can therefore easily become part of a broader city trip combining history, the river, culture and entertainment.
