About Harold Prince Theatre at Annenberg Center
The Harold Prince Theatre is one of three intimate performance spaces inside the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia.

The venue sits at the heart of University City, making it easy to pair a show with a stay or a bite to eat nearby.
