The Ruth Eckerd Hall Experience is getting bigger and better. As part of our Expanding the Experience $32 Million Capital Campaign, our generous donors have already helped us successfully renovate The Capitol Theatre, The Murray Theatre and The Margarete Heye Great Room at Ruth Eckerd Hall. As we enter the next stage of this campaign, at Ruth Eckerd Hall, you will see an easier approach to the building with a stunning new look and a new Grand Lobby including the addition of the Kate Tiedemann and Ellen Cotton Cabaret Theatre for pre-show performances and dinner. You will also see the England Family Welcome Pavilion for preshow entertainment on the outdoor stage with refreshments and fun. Both of the exciting new performance spaces will provide a place to showcase the talented students of the Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts.

Additionally, you will see a fabulous new expanded members-only, two-story Dress Circle Lounge. Together, these improvements will help ensure Ruth Eckerd Hall continues to grow and change lives for generations to come.
