About Springer Opera House - Emily Woodruff Hall
The Springer Opera House in downtown Columbus, Georgia, known officially as the State Theatre of Georgia, offers two intimate yet versatile spaces: the main stage Emily Woodruff Hall and the flexible The Dot (Dorothy McClure Theatre). With a rich history dating back to the 19th century, this historic venue continues to host a diverse slate of performances, from musicals and plays to seasonal events and special open-house experiences. Whether you’re here for a Broadway-caliber show or a regional premiere, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan a smooth night out.
Emily Woodruff Hall seats approximately 680 fixed seats (roughly 372 on the first floor) with assigned seating, providing a clear view for most patrons. The Dot offers a smaller, flexible space with around 300 seats, ideal for intimate performances and creative productions.
Parking is convenient with several nearby decks, including the RiverCenter Parking Deck (919 Broadway), Front Avenue Parking Deck (1028 Front Avenue), and the Synovus Deck (1st Ave & 11th St).
