Mitchell Hall

Mitchell Hall is a historic theatre and auditorium at the University of Delaware, positioned along The Green in the central part of the university campus. The building reflects the Georgian Colonial architectural style that defines much of this section of the campus. As the university's largest proscenium theatre, it currently accommodates 648 visitors and hosts theatre productions, concerts, dance performances, lectures and a wide range of other events.

The auditorium offers a more intimate experience than a large arena, with clear views toward the stage and technical facilities suited to different types of productions. Modern lighting and sound systems allow the venue to adapt to spoken-word, musical and theatrical programs, while its traditional architecture gives performances a distinctive academic and theatrical atmosphere.

The venue is located at 134 The Green, Newark, Delaware 19716, United States, directly on the University of Delaware's main campus green. The entrance is easily reached on foot from The Green, while visitors arriving by car can use nearby metered parking along Amstel Avenue and Kent Way, with the Visitors Center Lot providing another option.

Newark, the largest city in New Jersey, stands out as a lively urban hub where major sports moments and concerts naturally blend with big-city energy. Its compact center and strong downtown feel make it an appealing destination for visitors who want a great event experience without complicated logistics. With a wide range of restaurants, bars, and hotels, the city is a practical choice for a short getaway, yet interesting enough to explore before or after you head to the arena.

One of Newark’s biggest advantages is its connectivity: Newark Liberty International Airport makes flying in straightforward, while Newark Penn Station and Newark Broad Street Station are key gateways for arriving by train. Getting around the city and to venues is easy thanks to NJ TRANSIT services, PATH trains, and the Newark Light Rail, so reaching major event locations, including the Prudential Center, feels simple and stress-free. Whether you’re coming from the wider region or from New York City, the city gives the sense that everything is within easy reach, with transit options that fit different travel plans.

If you have time between plans, Newark offers rewarding spots for a relaxed walk and a good meal. The Ironbound district is known for its strong food scene, while riverside paths along the Passaic and central parks provide a pleasant break from the bustle. Fans of architecture and culture often add a museum visit or an impressive cathedral to the itinerary, and for many, the best part is the balance between the event and a city that keeps everything connected, clear, and full of life.
