Popular productions

The theater has one room that can accommodate 997 patrons at a time, divided into two sections - the lower stalls and the elevated club and boxes.
The seating area is carefully designed on an inclined plain, while the stage lays flat on the ground.
Owing to the inclination of the floor, all seats offer a clear, unobstructed view of the performances.
While the lower stall area is preferred by many patrons owing to the ease of access, the elevated club area offers an equally compelling option at a reduced price.
The boxes to the side are great for patrons who prefer to have a more private experience.
