About the Kennedy Theatre

The Kennedy Theatre is a beautiful 600-seat facility that was built to accommodate both Asian and Western staging techniques. The complex also includes the 150-seat "black-box" Earle Ernst Lab Theatre and limited office and classroom space. Kennedy Theatre was opened in December 1963 and is believed to be the first public building named after the late president.

The building's beautiful design and accompanying Jefferson Hall at the East-West Center complex are credited to the internationally known architect I.M. Pei, who also designed the Louvre Pyramid and the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art.
