The Little Theatre originally seated 300 when it opened in 1929 but, according to the official web site, the four additional auditoriums that have since been added to the house bring the current seating capacity to 940.

Visited this theatre on the weekend. It has two balconies, one dubbed “small” and “big” for obvious reasons. One’s on the left, the other on the right; nothing in the center. Main screen is quite large, with maybe 250-300 seats. The Little 2-5 is to the left outside and in a building that is an L shape, not really connected to the main theater. There is parking in front of the L. There’s neon lights on its facade saying “Little 2, 3, 4, 5).

Glad we have access to indie movies via the Little. This place used to be so snooty they didn’t sell soft drinks, only fruit juice and flavored water.
It’s now a non-profit since it couldn’t make it as a business.

That photo looks like it belongs on a Christmas card. :)

Here is the Little Theater as a triplex.

A Kilgen theater organ opus 5661 size 2/3 was installed in the Little Theater in Rochester, NY in 1936. Note: Style 12 Petit Ensemble.

I don’t see it mentioned anywhere that the Little has a balcony also, not open to the public, but on a recent visit my partner was friends with the manager and we were able to sit in the balcony. Really cozy.

I like the theater. You can have the snow, though:
