A performing arts theater is a type of theater that is designed to hold many different types of performing arts such as music, dance, and theater. Because it is not designed with a specific function in mind, it is a multi-purpose theater usually with just one large stage at the front and a room that is designed to enhance the acoustics of whatever performance is being held. Most cities in the country have a performing arts theater of their own and no matter what time of year it is, they will more than likely have a performance.
Because a performing arts theater is not designed to cater to any one specific thing, there are many different types of performances that are held there. Most commonly though it is theater that is produced. Typically, performances will be on a local level with volunteer performers, who love what they do, performing adaptations of famous plays on a smaller scale. And because these performances aren't full scale Broadway productions and the budgets for them come from either donated money or the player's own pockets, the sets are minimal and often hand crafted from other spare props. This minimalistic approach to local performing arts theaters provides a more intimate environment between the audience and the actors. That's not to say though that the sets are poorly designed. In some cases and in big cities like New York, NY and Washington D.C., performing arts theaters often get a lot of money donated or generated through ticket sales and put on fabulous performances.
Going to the theater is an all night affair with productions often lasting anywhere up to two or three hours. Depending on the production, which may range from a school play or a proper affair, attire will vary. Smart business casual is recommended.
Unlike dinner theaters, performing arts theaters do not provide food or snacks for their patrons. It is recommended that you eat before you go. When you go the theater remember to be courteous and quiet. The actors and performers take a lot of time to put on these productions simply because they love their trade and it is only right to show them respect while you attend.
