Patrons pass through the strikingly beautiful lobbies to enter each of the Center's three magnificent theatres. Designed to accommodate everyone's needs, the lobbies encompass nearly 25,000 square feet and are perfectly suited for a variety of events including weddings, receptions, craft fairs, small concerts and more.

The Lorene Harrison Lobby provides entrance to the Evangeline Atwood Concert Hall. The architecture and interior design of the lobbies was meant to bring to mind bright Alaskan summers even in the darkest months. The colorful lobby carpet, a floral display entitled Arctic Poppies, designed by local artist Nancy Taylor Stonington, and the tall forest green columns climbing four stories, create an enjoyable park-like setting. Large, ceiling-high windows allow daylight to stream into the lobbies.
