Review & FAQ:

Performing arts like dance, theater, and music all converge together in the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center.

Catering to the communities of southeastern Idaho and the Idaho State University, this performing arts center was built thanks to the support and donations of hundreds of private donors. The result of their contributions is a 123,000 square-foot complex with all the state-of-the-art features that one could think of. The center sits atop a Pocatello hill and seats 1,200 people in their grand concert hall.

The center, which is ranked fourth among the country’s top 25, also has a thrust stage theatre, a black box theatre, a rotunda, and multiple offices, practice rooms, and shops.
