Sidney Harman Hall is a theater at Sixth and F Streets NW in Washington, D.C.
Built for $89 million, the building was designed by Paul Beckmann of the DC firm Smithgroup; the theater itself by Toronto architect Jack Diamond.
The walls of the theater are panels of makore, an African wood; velour curtains behind the panels can be raised to alter the room's acoustics.
[2] The theatre is named for Dr. Sidney Harman, a philanthropist and STC trustee.
From October 25–28, 2010, Sidney Harman Hall hosted The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, including the October 27 show whose guest was President Barack Obama.
