Entrances and Access: The main entrance faces the Cooper and Union corner in Midtown Memphis. Patrons enter near the street corner and proceed into the theatre for ticket verification and seating assistance.

Seating Levels: The auditorium is a single-level, stage-oriented theatre of roughly 350 seats. The layout focuses attention toward the mainstage, with front rows closest to the performance and center orchestra-level seating offering strong sightlines.
