In the block found place in addition to the theater, the Hotel San Giorgio (closed in 1977), the Popular Bank, the daytime baths, several stores and some private homes.

The theater has an entrance area from which you access the foyer where, in the upper part of the walls are represented characteristic places and representative of Molise and Campobasso as well as scenes of daily life of the Molise population painted by Arnaldo De Lisio and dated 1925.

From the foyer one can access the stalls. From here branch off the two staircases for the ascent to the boxes. 

The theater is enriched by the golden stuccoes placed on the balustrades of the boxes and by putti on the terminals of the columns that delimit the boxes. The mystic gulf, with a capacity of 30-40 musicians, separates the stalls from the stage. The stage, surrounded on the sides by the dressing rooms, is trapezoidal in shape (minor base of 11 meters, major base of 12.5 and height of 9.50) and is composed of a plank floor sloping towards the stalls.
