Clancy & Theys Construction Company, on a design-build contract, delivered the 1,298-seat Performing Arts Theatre for the City of Virginia Beach. At four stories, the theatre’s front façade is transparent, allowing the interior public lobbies to be visible from the piazza. Seating is provided for 1,298 in standard aisle arrangement including two balcony levels. The theatre is fully appointed and backed by the full complement of spaces needed for such a venue. These spaces include a world class rehearsal hall, technical support rooms, performer support rooms and lounges, box office space, administration office space, VIP lounge areas, and storage space.
Clancy & Theys received the City of Virginia Beach Minority Business Council, Service Award for “Diversity Champion” in recognition of Exceptional Service Delivery for the Performing Arts Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
