In recent years, Ensley’s once vacant West Precinct has played host to the Ensley Cinema House, Ensley Renaissance Festival, fashion shows and more.
Most recently, the space housed Aldridge Repertory Theatre, Inc.’s sold out performances of Langston Hughes’s The Black Nativity in Historic Downtown Ensley. With that success, the Theatre Company is back to present a one-night only production of Yellowman by Dael Olandersmith.
Join them on June 19th at 7 PM at 616 19th Street Ensley. Donations large & small are welcomed and will support the 2017-2018 season. #EnsleyAlive

TODAY IS THE DAY! REV Birmingham is celebrating 10 years of creating vibrant commercial districts in the City of Birmingham.

We have covered so much ground since then, from historic building rehab consulting all the way to our refresh of 20th Street North – and we are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for us here at REV.
