The theatre also features various artists sculptural work, exhibitions, and historical artifacts from past performances and JFK’s presidency. Walking distance from many museums and historical monuments this building should not be missed, even if you aren’t attending a performance.

The grand architecture and red carpets are worth a visit alone. But if you plan enough ahead of time enjoy their exciting annual program. 2018 is filled with acts like Ballet Nacional de Cuba (Don Quixote), Patton Oswalt, Hamilton and so much more!
