Featuring unmatched sound and sightlines, the Joy has a state-of-the-art audio & visual system, fixed stage, three permanent bars, a multi-tiered balcony and flexible floor plans.<br></font></p><p><font face="Arial">The Joy Theater was once one of the four original movie theaters to grace downtown New Orleans alongside the Orpheum, the State Palace and the Saenger. Designed by Favrot & Reed architects, the Joy first opened its doors in 1947 as a “modern” movie house with its iconic neon marquee and original art deco architecture. Its conception and construction coincided with the apex of the film industry and heralded the optimism and economic expansion of post-war America. For over half a century, the Joy Theater stood as a premier movie theater in New Orleans and today remains a symbol of the vibrant historic legacy of daily life on Canal Street.</font></p><p><font face="Arial"> </font></p><p><font face="Arial"> </font></p><p><font face="Arial">First closing in 2003 then remaining closed after damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Joy finally re-opened its doors in 2011.
