Ethel Barrymore Theatre, Broadway theatre in Manhattan, United States
The Ethel Barrymore Theatre features Roman-style architecture with terra-cotta grillwork and a two-story screen on its exterior facade at West 47th Street.
The Shubert Organization opened this 1,058-seat theatre in December 1928, marking the final pre-Depression theatre development by the Shubert brothers in New York City.
This Manhattan venue presented Tennessee Williams' play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in 1947, which ran for over 850 performances on its distinguished stage.
The theatre provides wheelchair access throughout the Orchestra level and offers assistive listening devices for visitors with hearing or visual requirements.
The interior combines Elizabethan, Mediterranean, and Adamsesque architectural elements, featuring a distinctive sunburst pattern above the columned portico boxes.
