The Jefferson Performing Arts Center is a 1,050-seat theater located in LaSalle Park in Metairie, Louisiana.[1] It serves as the home of the Jefferson Performing Arts Society. The venue was designed to host grand operas, musicals, symphonies, choral concerts, ballet and modern dance.[1]
The $54.5 million performing arts center features an acoustically designed interior, a 51-ft. proscenium arch stage with a mechanical orchestra lift, a theatrical fly rigging system, four star-dressing rooms and six ensemble-dressing rooms.[2][3] The theater inside the arts center is named after former Louisiana State Senator Ken Hollis, who helped secure funding for the theater.[4][5]
