Welcome to Daughter of the Stars Theater

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountain is the iconic Daughter of the Stars Theater and Nighthawks Diner. Built in 1926, the property was originally a movie cinema hosting various film stars and pop culture figures on their promotional circuits. Today, our mission is to explore and promote the history, music, art, and cultures of the Shenandoah Valley. The theater itself and the magnificent surrounding countryside come together to paint a charming and unique picture of American culture.
