Jefferson Performing Arts Center is a modern theatre and performing arts venue opened in 2015, designed for theatrical productions, musicals, concerts, ballet, symphonic performances and other live events. Covering approximately 86,000 square feet, the venue offers 1,041 seats, with an elegantly designed auditorium arranged across orchestra, mezzanine and balcony levels to provide clear views of the stage from different sections.
The interior is equipped for demanding productions, featuring state-of-the-art acoustics and professional lighting and sound systems. A spacious lobby, terrace, event concessions and accessible circulation throughout the building contribute to a comfortable visitor experience, while the theatre's capacity creates a more intimate connection between audience and stage than is typical of large arenas.
The venue is located at 6400 Airline Dr, Metairie, United States. Visitors arriving by car can use complimentary parking beside the theatre, with the main vehicle access from Airline Drive via Dep. James Clarius Drive, while a designated passenger drop-off and pick-up area is positioned directly outside the main entrance.
