THEATERS
Allen Elizabethan Theatre
As a result of a generous $3 million grant from The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, the Elizabethan Stage/Allen Pavilion has been renamed the Allen Elizabethan Theatre. The Foundation provided the lead gifts for the building of the Allen Pavilion in 1993, when the name of the theatre was changed to Elizabethan Stage/Allen Pavilion. One of America's oldest Elizabethan theatres, OSF’s outdoor flagship stage is named for a queen and the glorious age in which Shakespeare wrote. Experience the sweep and majesty of those unforgettable stories of love, tragedy and spiritual transformation beneath a canopy of stars. This outdoor theatre, with orchestra and balcony seating, accommodates 1,190 patrons.
Seating Capacity: 1190
Thomas Theatre
As a result of the generous donation of $4.5 million from a group of donors, comprising of The Goatie Foundation, Roberta and David Elliott, and Helen and Peter Bing, in 2013 the New Theatre was renamed the Thomas Theatre in recognition of longtime OSF Development Director Peter D. Thomas, who died in March 2010.
Seating Capacity: 360
Angus Bowmer Theatre
From its inception, the Angus Bowmer Theatre has welcomed our patrons with the graciousness of the man for whom it was named, OSF’s founder Angus L. Bowmer. The immediacy between company and audience members in this space allows for theatrical voyages of human discovery, guided by some of the world’s greatest classical and contemporary playwrights. The theatre seats 600, and quite seriously, there is no bad seat in the house.
