Facilities and Capacity
Couples can celebrate their wedding with up to 700 guests. This theater includes a banquet hall space with a modern appearance and up-to-date amenities for couples who want a cleaner look for their wedding reception. This space, called the Seneca Ballroom, features a bright white and silver color scheme. There are windows letting in natural light during the day and overhead lights — in addition to any uplighting used — to keep the party going into the night. Couples can also celebrate their wedding in the Shea Ballroom. This space features all of the old style and class found in the historic theater. There is a tiled floor in a large black-and-white checkered pattern. The two-story high ceilings are arced even higher, with traditional antique chandeliers hanging down to provide light. Throughout the room there are golden accents and mirrored embellishments. Couples with a feel for old-world sophistication and the glamour of the theater will feel right at ease in the Shea Ballroom.
