Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Laurel Theater stood for many years as the Fort Sanders Presbyterian Church, constructed in 1898.  Today the theater is a performance center and home to Jubilee Community Arts, an organization dedicated to the preservation and advancement of traditional music and art forms of the Southern Appalachians.

From I-40 take the 17th Street exit (#387), turn right/South (towards the University) on 17th St., turn left on Laurel Ave. (about five blocks), go one block to 16th and look for the Victorian church on the Southeast corner.
