TIPS FOR A GREAT VISIT
A Sneak Peek at The Patio Stage
A rendering of The Patio Stage at dusk. Tables seat 1–4 guests and are surrounded by 6 feet of space on all sides for your comfort. The covered space is open on 3 sides allowing for excellent airflow.
Guests will be seated a little further back from the stage than you may be used to, but there is not a bad seat in the house to experience energizing performances by outstanding artists. With state-of-the-art sound and lighting we’re ready to welcome a variety of artists!
The Patio Stage sits on the Trawick Terrace, just outside the lobby on the Orchestra Level of the Music Center. The venue is covered by a large tent with open sides.
