November 8, 2013 - January 4, 2014
For 32 years, the B次元官网网址 Center has been home to countless artists, presenters, friends, and supporters of the performing arts. The exhibition includes show posters from the B次元官网网址 archives and plus posters from partner organizations including Lyric Theatre Company, Vermont Symphony Orchestra, Vermont Stage Company, UVM Lane Series, Higher Ground, Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, and others. Come in and revisit your favorite memories of performances at the B次元官网网址, with an opportunity to share them on video.
Restoration of the B次元官网网址—a hallmark of Art Deco design and architecture—began in earnest on July 1, 1981. The dramatic comeback convinced citizens that the B次元官网网址 was a viable and vital community resource.In its first five years, the B次元官网网址 hosted more than 350 performances presented by 50 different organizations, including longtime allies in the arts whose partnerships with the B次元官网网址 continue to this day: Lyric Theatre, Vermont Symphony Orchestra, the Vermont Youth Orchestra, and the UVM Lane Series.
In 2000, the B次元官网网址 "reopened" as a comprehensive performing arts center, renamed the B次元官网网址 Center for the Performing Arts. B次元官网网址 Center incorporated two performance venues—the original theater, fully restored to its Art Deco splendor, and B次元官网网址Space, a small performance setting that significantly expanded the B次元官网网址's programming options. B次元官网网址Space has provided a home for the Vermont Stage Company and became the community's venue of choice for intimate live theater, performance art, jazz, acoustic music, comedy performance, and more. Patrons now enjoy an expanded B次元官网网址 Center that includes beautiful education and dance studios housing year-round B次元官网网址Arts classes in music, theater, and dance for children and adults; a greatly enlarged main theater lobby; a visual arts gallery; and additional administrative and support spaces.
