About The Walker

Sketch of the Historic Madame Walker Theatre


From private events to public receptions, the Madame Walker Theatre Center has welcomed generations to celebrate and convene within its walls. Today, it hosts gatherings of every conceivable kind, from celebratory receptions to onstage showcases and business seminars.

The Center upholds the traditions of days past, when the Indiana Avenue corridor was a bustling cultural, commercial, and community destination. At the same time, it enables today's businesses, civic groups, and families, to add the Art Deco glamour of the past to today's events.
