History

The New Hazlett Theater building was built in 1889, serving as the nation’s first Carnegie Music Hall. It was dedicated by President Benjamin Harrison, and was used for several decades as a music hall, and then a Carnegie Free Library. The building was renamed in 1980 to honor patron Theodore L. Hazlett Jr., who made a major impact on the city’s arts and culture, as well as playing an active role in politics. The building went through several uses until it was renovated in 2004 to serve as the New Hazlett Theater.
