The theatre derives its name from the Pershing Square Foundation, which donated $25 million to the theatre.^[3] The complex is more than a mile west of Manhattan's Pershing Square, which is also on 42nd Street.

In October 2008, Signature announced the building of the Pershing Square Signature Center. Designed by Frank Gehry Architects, the Center comprises the three theatres, two rehearsal studios, a café and bar, bookstore, and offices all on one level. It opened in 2012.^[4]

The Irene Diamond Stage has a seating capacity of 294 seats, the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre has a seating capacity of 191 seats and the flexible Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre has a capacity of 199 to 250, depending on the seating configuration.^[1]
