Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts | CLOSED
The Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts will be a 3,000-seat facility — with a facade of limestone and glass — and feature a grand lobby, a rooftop terrace that will overlook the new LeBauer Park, unparalleled sight lines of the stage and a sound system designed to accommodate a vast range of performing arts productions. Nationally renowned architects who specialize in these facilities have just completed the designs for the exterior and lobby and are putting the finishing touches on the design of other areas in the building, including the auditorium. The plans are the direct result, in large part, of input received in 2012 from the community. look forward to making these designs public later this fall. In addition to important public input, an unprecedented $35 million has been raised so far in private support for the project – the most money ever raised from private hands for a single project in Greensboro’s history.
