New York City Center’s $75 million capital campaign will restore and modernize our historic theater and ensure continued support for acclaimed programs such as Encores! Great American Musicals in Concert and the Fall for Dance Festival. Highlights of the renovation project, designed by Ennead Architects LLP, include reconfigured seating in the main auditorium with significantly improved comfort and sightlines; enhanced front-of-house amenities, including a new, heated marquee on 55th Street; renovated lobbies and redesigned bars; additional restrooms; a new, sprung stage floor; and upgraded backstage facilities. The much-needed renovation will be carried out in two phases, from late April through September 2010 and from mid-March through October 2011. This schedule ensures that there will be no interruption over the next 18 months to the world-class programs and performances presented at City Center.
