There is ample wing space to accommodate temporary set storage or quick costume changes. The theatre has a fly system, backstage crossover, orchestra pit, projection capabilities, as well as sound and lighting systems which may be accessed upon request. Dressing rooms are located below the stage and performer restrooms are within close proximity to the space. The Allen Main Stage is handicapped accessible and includes a hearing device system. Maximum seating capacity is 450. The Allen Main Stage includes a 200-seat balcony with elevator access; the first floor seats 250.
