Count Basie Theater

The Count Basie Theatre is an historic landmark that operates as a 1,543-seat performing arts center. It opened as the Carlton Theater in 1926 and was renamed in 1984 to honor the jazz great and Red Bank native. TLP was part of the design team that completed an $8 million historic restoration of the facility’s interior and exterior in 2008. We provided architectural lighting design for the theater, lobbies, VIP patron lounge, and the entry marquee.
