Garde Arts Center, Historic theater in New London, Connecticut, United States.
The Garde Arts Center features a Moroccan interior design with 1,500 seats and eastern-themed wall murals created by artist Vera Leeper.
Built in 1926 as a vaudeville house and movie theater, Warner Brothers purchased the property in 1929 for $1 million to showcase talking pictures.
The center presents diverse performances including symphony orchestras, theatrical productions, film screenings, and contemporary music concerts throughout the year.
