Dante Hall Theater of the Arts is a theater and cultural center in Atlantic City, New Jersey located in the Ducktown neighborhood, which has traditionally been the city’s Little Italy.The theater was originally built in 1926 by St. Michael’s Catholic Church, and primarily served the community as a church hall, school gymnasium, and community theatre. St. Michael’s closed its parish school in 1988, leaving the building dormant. An eighteen-month, $3.5 million renovation, funded solely by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, was completed in October 2003 and renamed Dante Hall Theater of the Arts. In 2011, Stockton University entered an agreement with the Parish to operate the facility as a hub for the performing arts.
