The Terrace Theater is the busiest theater within The Kennedy Center, hosting up to 180 performances each year ranging from music, jazz, dance, film, lectures, and more. Importantly, it also serves as a primary space through which the Center welcomes local arts groups and its artistic constituents, including WPA, Opera Lafayette, and many more.
Take a tour of the newly renovated Terrace Theater.
As patrons enter, they are greeted by a reconfigured lobby and open staircase that spotlights a Chandelier created by renowned artist Dale Chihuly specifically for the space. Titled Amber Icicle and Split Leaf Chandelier, the work was commissioned by the Center with support from JoAnn McGrath and the Highland Street Foundation. The original design brings together in a Chandelier for the first time two of nature-inspired forms, icicles and split leaves, in an amber and garnet work of art.
