Ulster Performing Arts Center, Historic theater and music venue in Kingston, United States.
The Ulster Performing Arts Center features a neoclassical architecture with a 1,500-seat auditorium and presents concerts, theatrical productions, and film screenings throughout the year.
Built in 1927 as the Broadway Theatre, this entertainment venue narrowly escaped demolition in 1977 when three local residents gathered community support to preserve it.
The theater maintains its position as the largest performance space between Manhattan and Albany, offering diverse programming that brings national and international artists to Kingston.
The venue underwent renovations in 2017 that modernized its facilities with improved heating systems and expanded restroom accommodations for enhanced visitor comfort.
The building earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as one of the remaining grand show palaces in New York State.
