Muriel Kauffman Theatre

The 1,800-seat Muriel Kauffman Theatre was inspired by the great opera houses of Europe. Illuminated balconies encircle the theatre and cast a stunning glow on the stage below. The vast 5,000-square-foot stage is a grand setting for dinner, with seating for up to 300 guests. Our 40-by-22-foot presentation screen is also accessible so the theatre is perfect for meetings and large presentations.
