This 700+ seat, all-marble, classical-styled open-air amphitheater was opened in the fall of 2025 at the Center for Hellenic Studies "paideia" at the campus of the University of Connecticut.
Tucked away just behind the ultra-modern facades of downtown Storrs is this scene from ancient Greece, complete with the tall white columns and pristine marble seats.
The theater was a lifelong dream of the center’s presdent and founder, Ilias Tomazos, and was in the works for over 20 years. and expected to be finaliized soon. The property will also includes a Spartan museum.
