Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, Performing arts center in Santa Rosa, United States.
Luther Burbank Center for the Arts is a performing arts center in Santa Rosa, California, with a main hall and several smaller spaces for theater, music, and dance. The main hall is built so that seats in every section have a clear view of the stage, keeping the audience close to the performance.
The center opened in the early 1980s after a foundation acquired the property and built the venue. It was created to give northern California a professional home for live performance.
The center takes its name from Luther Burbank, a botanist who lived and worked in Santa Rosa. This link to the city's past gives the building a meaning for locals that goes beyond the shows it hosts.
The center is in Santa Rosa and has a box office open during regular business hours before shows. Arriving a little early gives you time to find your seat and get settled before the performance begins.
Several comedy albums and live concert recordings were made here and later released officially, which is not common for a regional venue of this size. A few of those recordings became reference points for the performers who made them.
