"Amanda Thorp was a theater entrepreneur influential in bringing Black vaudeville and early movie theaters to Richmond, Virginia, and more widely to the southeastern US. Thorp, a White woman, opened theaters and nickelodeons exclusively for Black patrons during a period of entrenched segregation and outright opposition to Black patronage in the South.
