It is located at 166 Capitol Street, Hartford, Connecticut, US. This venue is under the management of a non-profit organization. The theater has a seating capacity of 2,800 people at a time. It was designed by the famous architectural firm of Corbett. The designers were Harrison and MacMurray of New York’s Radio City Music Hall. The building has a Georgian Revival exterior and a rich Art Deco interior. The rough cost of the theater building was $2.8 million and was completed under the budget of $110,000.
