Jacksonville’s Venue for Positive Hits, Family-Friendly Entertainment & Community Gatherings
The Murray Hill Theatre is an historic landmark located at 932 Edgewood Avenue South, in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. The Theatre was opened in 1948 as a movie theatre that shut down in the 1993. The building was converted to its present use in 1995 by Murray Hill Ministries, Inc.
Unless otherwise indicated, all shows are general admission and are open to all ages. Some shows are seated with a 300 person seated capacity but most shows are standing shows (598 capacity) with limited seating available in the back of the theatre on a first-come/first-served basis.
A snack bar offers light snacks and hot and cold beverages at reasonable prices.
Capacity
Our maximum capacity is 598 General Admission standing-room only. For certain shows we put out chairs which reduces the capacity to 300. There is typically just a few chairs at the back of the auditorium that are available on a first come, first served basis, but the artists would prefer to see you standing in front of the stage with everyone else.
Mission
Our mission is to have a great live music venue and to use live music and entertainment to present the Christian Faith in a unique, positive and relevant way, reaching out to those without an understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and encouraging those who do. We strive to create a positive and loving atmosphere for everyone, regardless of your faith perspective.
