It comprises two performance spaces: the Berlind Theatre, a proscenium arch theatre seating approximately 689, and the Matthews Theatre, a more intimate space often used for smaller productions and lectures. The center hosts a wide range of programming including theater, dance, music, and spoken word events; it also serves as a platform for new work development through its Resident Artist Program.
