The new 360-seat Virginia Wimberly Theatre and new 200-seat Nancy and Edward Roberts Studio Theatre will be built, managed, and programmed by Huntington. The regional stage will maintain its mainstage home at the 890-seat Boston University Theatre. The new space allows the company a second stage for new play development programs and will also feature productions by other arts organizations. Huntington is in the process of raising funds for a two-phase endeavor which will construct and set up an endowment for the new spaces. Phase One of the campaign is to raise $16.5 million and Phase Two will be to raise $3.2 million. This marks the first capital campaign in Huntington's 22-year history.

Nathan Lane recently starred in Butley at The Huntington Theatre Company as part of this season. Past productions have included the world premiere musical Marty as well as artistic director Nicholas Martin's stagings of Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme (which transferred to Off-Broadway) and Hedda Gabler (which moved to Broadway).
