The Rosenthal Theater on the Inner-City Arts campus is a creative home for innovative programming in the performing arts. The space nurtures and illuminates the artistic spirit of young people and adults, enabling them to create, present, and experience new work.
Each year Inner-City Arts offers shows for school partners and public audiences to experience the magic of live performance. We welcome the community to make meaningful memories with loved ones and see what’s behind the Big Orange Door!
