The Count Basie Center for the Arts, originally Count Basie Theatre, is a landmarked performing arts center in Red Bank, New Jersey.
The building first opened in 1926 as the Carlton Theater and later, in 1973, became known as the Monmouth Arts Center.[2] In 1984 it was renamed the Count Basie Theatre after famed jazz musician and Red Bank native, William “Count” Basie.
In 2018, the venue changed its name to the Count Basie Center for the Arts. The name of the theater itself was purchased and renamed the Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre.
The building was designed by architect William E. Lehman and has a seating capacity of 1,568.
