Sunoco Performance Theater
Sunoco Performance Theater combines architectural understanding of performer's needs with a contemporary approach to the traditional English Court Theater model.

Sunoco Performance Theater hosts an annual schedule of events that features the finest in theater, dance and music available throughout the Capital Region and beyond. The gently raked seating area ensures every patron a clear view of the stage with no patron seated more than 65 feet from the stage. Sunoco Performance Theater showcases 664 seats within the Orchestra, Mezzanine and Balcony levels, and its design features 14 theater boxes over those levels.

Sunoco Performance Theater stage is a traditional proscenium with optional apron extension and is comparable in size to most on Broadway. Featuring state-of-the-art light, sound and technical equipment, the theater includes backstage fly space and an orchestra pit with mechanical lift. A below grade chair lift makes it one of the first handicap accessible orchestra pits.
