Eccles Theater, Modern performing arts center in downtown Salt Lake City, United States.
The Eccles Theater is a performing arts building in downtown with five stories and a glass-fronted lobby. The main hall seats approximately 2500 people and several smaller venues within the building host different types of performances.
The building was constructed in the 2010s as the city's newest major cultural venue and opened in 2016. Major donors funded the project to expand the city's artistic offerings and performance infrastructure.
The venue presents regional and national productions featuring both local artists and established companies performing on multiple stages. Visitors encounter everything from large Broadway productions to smaller experimental works in different performance spaces.
The location is easily walkable from downtown and has nearby parking options. The building offers wheelchair accessibility with elevators and designated seating areas throughout.
The ceiling of the main hall was designed with patterns inspired by Utah's canyons and night sky. These subtle visual connections to the state's landscape give the space a distinctive local quality.
