This 1,150-seat multi-purpose theater is located in a newly developed cultural arts district of downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. This city-owned theater is designed for local art groups such as dance companies, city youth orchestra, chamber music for the city orchestra, and other touring shows. The theater is physically connected and shares a pre-function space with the Bechtler Art Museum (also constructed by Rodgers), which is one of three newly developed museums in this cultural arts district.
The 88,000 square foot theater is 6-stories (2 below ground) and also includes a 350-seat auditorium. Additional features include two pedestrian tunnels underneath First and Tryon Streets. The tunnels will connect the Mint Museum, Knight Theater, and The Green parking garage for easy pedestrian access.
