It features a large performance hall with approximately 1,800 seats, designed with acoustics intended for optimal sound quality. The Center’s design incorporates historical elements of the original auditorium alongside modern architectural features. It is located in the heart of Charleston's historic district and aims to contribute to the city’s cultural landscape.
