Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre

The centerpiece of the facility is the 2,750-seat John A. Williams Theatre.  Even with its considerable seat-count, the theatre’s farthest seat is only 160 feet from the stage. The Williams stage features two electro-mechanical lifts to create an orchestra pit, which can accommodate up to 84 musicians for Broadway or opera productions. The lifts feature movable seating wagons and can convert to audience seating as needed. With a full stage house, robust back of house support spaces, and adjustable acoustic devices throughout the auditorium, the versatile theatre has proven itself a capable workhorse for the region, handling a steady rotation of high-profile, high-demand acts. The arts center also features a 10,000-square-foot ballroom.
