Stevens Center

In this section

Stevens Center

Originally a 1929 silent movie theatre, the Stevens Center is a magnificently restored neoclassical building located in downtown Winston-Salem, N.C. Reopened in 1983 with a redesigned stage and backstage that was designed to house Broadway-scale live performances of music, theater, dance and opera, the Stevens Center is the primary performance space for UNCSA as well as for the Winston-Salem Symphony, Piedmont Opera, National Black Theatre Festival, and several other local arts organizations.

The historic performing arts venue serves as the largest learning laboratory at UNCSA, an economic driver for downtown Winston-Salem and a cultural destination for both residents and visitors. The Stevens Center is wheelchair accessible and is equipped with a two-channel hearing assistance system.

Out of an abundance of caution and to preserve an optimal patron experience, UNCSA has closed the balcony for the foreseeable future due to cosmetic deterioration of surfaces resulting from deferred repairs to the roof.
