Description

Blumenthal Performing Arts Center is the main hub of Charlotte’s downtown performing arts scene. Four theaters operate out of the center--though only two of them are can be found within the center’s physical space (the other two are just around the corner on North College Street at Spirit Square). There are some shows that are held at the larger capacity Ovens Auditorium, which is a short drive over on Independence Blvd. In addition to the theater space, ten arts-oriented companies are housed at the Blumenthal PAC. The Box Office sells tickets to all events and is accessible through Founders Hall, but the website is a convenient alternative. The center is a vibrant cultural site, but it is not stuffy--casual dress is acceptable and there is stand up comedy to complement the Shakespeare. Check the event schedule for a show that catches your fancy.
