News About This Theater
- Jul 27, 2012 — Closing of the Leesburg Tally Ho Theatre
The Tally Ho Theatre was built in 1931 in Leesburg, VA. – in the heart of "hunt country". It was originally built as a single screen seating 500, and later split.
The theater was closed in 2000 when Regal Cinemas lost their lease.
After renovation, the theater reopened in May, 2002 as a twin movie house (the auditorium having been split down the middle) for mainstream and arthouse movies. In December, 2007 the theaters operators departed. In January, 2008, new operators took-over, planning new movies, cult classics, and improvisational comedy. The Tally Ho Theatre was closed in September 2012. It reopened in January 2013 as a performing arts center. The center dividing wall has been removed to create a single auditorium again. It presents music and live performances.

When the Tally-Ho Theatre was a single screen theatre it seated 739 people.
The Tally Ho closed in September 2012. It reopened January 2013 as a performing arts venue – no more movies, sadly.
The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star reported on February 21, 1931, that Benjamin Pitts, operator of theaters at Fredericksburg, Front Royal, Warrenton, Culpeper, Killmarnock, and Suffolk, would build a new theater at Leesburg. The Tally-Ho Theatre later appeared on lists of houses operated by Pitts' Theatres as Pitts' Tally-Ho.

The Talky Ho no longer has movies. The center wall was removed, now a single auditorium that hosts music and comedy acts.
Odd name!! Why the name Tally Ho?
In the Overview it states being built “in the heart of "hunt country”.
One of the definitions of Tally Ho is: a huntsman’s cry to the hounds on sighting a fox.
