The venue is housed in a building specifically renovated to serve as a hub for youth theater, shifting away from traditional proscenium layouts to create more immersive, intimate stage environments.
The foundation responsible for the venue is a non-profit organization (Onlus) that focuses on the social and educational value of theater rather than strictly commercial entertainment.
The theater serves as a permanent creative residence for several prominent Italian children's theater companies.
The facility is situated near the Parco di Piazza d'Armi, allowing for a combination of indoor performance and outdoor recreation.

The facility features two main halls designed specifically for youth-oriented theater productions and workshops. Operated by the Fondazione Teatro Ragazzi e Giovani Onlus, the center hosts an extensive annual program of contemporary drama, puppetry, and dance. Its architectural structure is integrated into the Santa Rita district, serving as a regional reference point for pedagogical and theatrical innovation. The foundation collaborates with local schools to integrate theater into educational curricula. The venue regularly hosts regional and national festivals focused on youth culture. Beyond performance, the center provides professional training spaces for theater practitioners specializing in young audiences.
