ALASKA CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

This world-class facility's three theatres, spacious adjoining lobbies and support areas comprise 176,000 square feet, all within a one-block area.

THEATRES

Atwood Concert Hall
Seating Capacity: 2,100

Acoustically sensitive and dramatically designed, the largest venue in the Alaska Center is the Evangeline Atwood Concert Hall. It features a large stage (120' wide by 52' deep with a proscenium opening that is 57' wide and 35' high).

Discovery Theatre
Seating Capacity: 777

Characterized by long sweeping curves, defining partitions and balconies, and a ceiling of silvery saucer-shaped acoustical discs, this theatre boasts a stage equal to the size of the Atwood Concert Hall.

Sydney Laurence Theatre
Seating Capacity: 372

A flexible proscenium theatre, perfectly suited for theatre, film and chamber music, with an ample stage (94' wide by 27' deep with a proscenium opening of 47' wide by 21' high).

The asymmetrical seating arrangement in the Sydney Laurence Theatre, with open boxes on the side, creates a strong dramatic effect.
