The Annie Russell Theatre was a gift of Mrs. Edward W. Bok in honor of her lifelong friend, the internationally known actress Annie Russell. The Theatre and Knowles Memorial Chapel were built together and joined by a loggia and garden. The Theatre was designed by architect Richard Kiehnel and built in the Spanish Mediterranean Revival style. It was formally dedicated on March 29, 1932.

The Annie Russell Theatre was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 15, 1998.
