Physically connected to Armory Court, a paved public space for social activities
50 ft away from Ashuwillticook Rail Trail
Over 300 public parking spots within a 2-minute walking radius of the Theater, free after hour parking
AUDITORIUM DESIGN
The 8,109 sqft auditorium will be a multi-functional space with flexible configurations, ideal for the performing arts, lectures, rehearsals, and special events.
A maximum of 400 removable seats can fit into the space.
THE STOREFRONT CAFE
The 2,496 sqft street-front space has been divided into two units for decades.
The plan is to combine the storefront café and make it an inviting place for both Theater visitors and the local community. In conjunction with the adjacent Armory Court, the café at Adams Theater will provide a new social experience in town.
