Tiered levels of seats form a three-quarter circle around the performing area eliminating the separation between the audience and performers. The farthest seat from the stage is a mere 39 feet away. Situated in the heart of Arts Commons beside Jack Singer Concert Hall, Martha Cohen Theatre received a state-of-the-art sound upgrade in 2014, as well as all-new seats and a new lighting console in 2016, ensuring that it remains at the top of the theatre industry standard. The Martha Cohen Theatre was named after the late Dr. Martha Cohen ($1M donated by her husband in honor of her birthday).
