Info
Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina is a $78.1 million 3,000-seat performing arts facility scheduled to open in 2020. It will replace 2,400-seat War Memorial Auditorium in the Greensboro Coliseum Complex; the auditorium was torn down in October 2014. The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro raised $35 million privately, to be paid over ten years. The city of Greensboro is paying $30 million. Construction was delayed a year so the foundation could get a $25 million bank loan to guarantee its contribution. The Greensboro Symphony and Guilford College's Bryan Series are expected to use the facility. The facility will also host Broadway productions and concerts. The facility is named for Steven Tanger, CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, who pledged $7.5 million toward the project in 2013. After working for a year, a task force recommended a state of the art center in February 2013. Groundbreaking was held April 26, 2017 and the first work took place July 13.
