American Cabaret Theatre

Detail: The American Cabaret Theatre- Indianapolis's premiere musical theatre and most exciting choice for live, quality entertainment is located at 401 East Michigan Street (in the historic Athenaeum building) downtown Indianapolis.

This newly renovated theatre offers cabaret style seating, in an intimate setting, complete with a cash bar, concessions, and a gift store in the upper lobby.

The American Cabaret Theatre came to downtown Indianapolis in 1990 with a Dream and a Mission. Our dream was to save the 100-year-old Athenaeum Building from imminent destruction and turn it into an attractive, commercially viable showcase for the city's cultural arts. Our mission was to provide Indianapolis and Central Indiana with high-quality, original theatrical entertainment.

We accomplished our dream by amassing several million dollars in brick-and-mortar funds from local businesses and foundations. The beautifully restored Athenaeum is now an anchor institution of Indianapolis' architectural heritage and a centerpiece of the emerging downtown arts milieu.
