Stærekassen, som indtil starten af 2008 var en skuespilscene, er udsmykket i art deco (og andre stilarter). Den tårnagtige scenebygning hænger over August Bournonvilles Passage på siden af det gamle teater. Stærekassen er tegnet af arkitekten Holger Jacobsen. Bygningen var i samtiden meget omdiskuteret, og den blev et yndet offer for Poul Henningsen og hans meningsfæller omkring tidsskriftet Kritisk Revy.
Billedhugger Einar Utzon-Frank har udsmykket scenetårnet med skulpturer i femte etages højde. Mod Kongens Nytorv ses den græske gud Apollon med komediens og tragediens muser. Mod Heibergsgade hænger Mozart med violinen, Eros på svanen og Shakespeare. Sidstnævnte skal symbolisere musikken, dansen og dramaet.
I 1995 blev Stærekassen fredet.

The building consists of a high stage tower which spans Tordenskjoldsgade and connects Vilhelm Dahlerup's old theatre building from 1874 with a new corner building which the auditorium is found. The interior is richly decorated in Art Déco style by the leading Danish artists of the period.
The facade reliefs on both sides of the stage tower are executed in Bronze and designed by Einar Utzon-Frank. The reliefs on the front towards Kongens Nytorv depic Apollo, God of musicians, flanked by the Muse of Tragedy, on his right hand side, and the Muse of comedy on his left hand side. On the opposite side of the tower, Mozart with violin, representing music, is seen flanked by Eros on the swan representing dance, and Shakespeare drama.
