The Albert Ivar Goodman Theatre has been home to large scale musicals (Tommy, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, The Color Purple) as well as intimate productions (Betrayal, Clyde’s) and classic dramas (The Iceman Cometh, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone). Comparable in scale to many Broadway houses, “the Albert” features main floor, balcony and box seating, and offers excellent vantage points of the stage from anywhere in the house.
The theater is named in honor of trustee Albert Goodman, who, along with his mother, Edith-Marie Appleton, made it possible to build the new Goodman Theatre.
