About Farkas Hall

Located in the heart of Harvard Square at 12 Holyoke Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, Farkas Hall is a historic theatre space within the Hasty Pudding Club building. Rebuilt to offer a modern performance space with a moveable thrust stage, the venue serves as home to Harvard’s Theatre, Dance & Media (TDM) program and hosts iconic Harvard-affiliated productions like Hasty Pudding Theatricals and the Harvard Krokodiloes. The theatre seats approximately 250–275 guests, commonly cited around 270 seats, with variations noted in sources (272-seat, 256–280).

Whether you’re planning a student performance, a guest show, or a special Harvard event, Farkas Hall blends historic charm with contemporary accessibility. Secure your seats for an intimate theatre experience just steps from Harvard’s campus, with easy transit and a stamp of Cambridge culture.
