The Cort Theatre was designed in 1912 as part of the Intimate Theatre Movement. When restored in 2022, the theatre's original “French Style” was reborn with the details of Marie Antoinette's Petit Trianon at Versailles. Seating, draperies and wall coverings were designed with classic imagery. The Arthur Brounet murals and the plasterwork proscenium, backlit with Tiffany Glass, were restored. The exterior marquee was recreated to be evocative of the original. design.
