Sandler Center for the Performing Arts is a prominent theatre and performing arts venue in Virginia Beach, distinguished by its soaring glass façade and contemporary architectural character. Opened in 2007, it serves as an important stage for concerts, theatre productions, dance, comedy and other cultural performances. Its main performance hall has 1,308 seats, combining the scale of a major arts venue with a relatively intimate connection between the audience and the stage.
The auditorium was designed with an emphasis on outstanding acoustics and clear sightlines, while comfortable seating keeps the audience close to the performance even from the upper sections. In addition to the main hall, the Sandler Center includes smaller spaces for rehearsals, private functions and specialised events, allowing the venue to accommodate a broad range of performance formats.
The Sandler Center is located in Virginia Beach Town Center at 201 Market St, Virginia Beach, United States. More than 3,000 free parking spaces are available in nearby garages and parking areas, including a lot next to the venue with access from Market Street and Virginia Beach Boulevard; passenger drop-off is also available along Commerce Street.
