Tulsa Performing Arts Center

The Tulsa Performing Arts Center is a performance venue in downtown Tulsa with four theaters of varying sizes. The largest hall, Chapman Music Hall, seats around 2,365 people, while three smaller spaces allow for more intimate productions.

This venue opened in 1977 following a successful partnership between private and public funding sources. Architect Minoru Yamasaki designed the building, which marked a turning point for the city's arts scene.

The center displays works by Native American artists and regularly hosts local arts groups performing throughout the year. The collection reflects the region's artistic diversity and makes this venue a gathering place for the local creative community.

The venue hosts a wide range of events from Broadway shows to concerts and ballet performances throughout the year. Before visiting, check what productions are scheduled so you can plan which performance interests you most.

The opening event in Chapman Music Hall was a concert featuring legendary singer Ella Fitzgerald and the Tulsa Philharmonic Orchestra. This performance marked a special moment in the venue's history and in the city's cultural calendar.
