Henegar Center, Performing arts center in Melbourne, Florida.
Henegar Center is a performing arts facility in Melbourne, Florida, with two separate performance spaces serving different production needs. The main auditorium seats 375 people across orchestra and balcony sections, while a smaller theater accommodates around 90 spectators for more intimate shows.
The facility was established to serve the Melbourne community with live performance opportunities. Major renovations were completed in 2023 that updated seating and theater spaces to improve the overall visitor experience.
The center presents a year-round schedule of theatrical productions ranging from musicals to dramas featuring both local and guest ensembles. Audiences experience a mix of established classics and contemporary works that bring live theater to the community.
Free parking is available in a city lot behind the venue with around 270 spaces, accessible via a lighted walkway from Melbourne Avenue. Guests should plan to arrive with enough time to park and reach the theater comfortably before performances begin.
The smaller theater space here stands out for its intimate setting designed specifically for cabaret, drama, and experimental productions. This 90-seat stage allows for a distinctly different type of theatrical experience compared to the main auditorium.
