Events
The Virginia Theatre hosts a wide variety of events throughout the year. One weekend a month, classic movies are played on a 56-foot wide screen. These movies range from 1940's movies such as White Christmas to cult favorites like The Big Lebowski. Tickets to each of two screenings are 5 dollars and there is also a raffle to win a DVD of the movie being played. Some months have themes reflecting the holidays, such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Halloween. There is also College and Kids night. Beginning a few years ago, the Champaign Park District began hosting "Reel Deals" at the Virginia Theatre. Showing newer releases, Reel Deals are shown for $3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays on an irregular schedule. From 1992 until 2010, the Champaign-Urbana Theatre Company, or CUTC, performed plays at the theatre.

“There are no little events in life, those we think of no consequence may be full of fate, and it is at our own risk if we neglect the acquaintances and opportunities that seem to be casually offered, and of small importance.”

“All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“If there is a case for mental events and mental states, it must be that the positing of them, like the positing of molecules, has some indirect systematic efficacy in the development of theory.”
