Academy of Music Theatre, Historic theater in downtown Northampton, United States
The Academy of Music Theatre features Renaissance Revival architecture with a grand auditorium that accommodates 803 seats across multiple levels.
Edward Lyman, a tea and silk merchant, built the theater in 1891 for $100,000 after drawing inspiration from German public theaters.
