This is Ford's Theater, where Abraham Lincoln was shot. It's operated both as a historic site and a functioning theater (right now they're playing A Christmas Carol).
Here is the inside of the theater, looking towards the presidential box. You can see how an actor would have quick, easy access, and how he was able to escape by jumping out of the box onto the stage below. Note the seating in the lower right corner—the entire auditorium is filled with what look like free-standing dining room chairs.
