Discovery Theatre at Alaska Center for the Performing Arts is an intimate yet architecturally distinctive theatre in central Anchorage, designed for theatre productions, opera, dance, film screenings and musical performances. The auditorium has 697 seats arranged across the orchestra and mezzanine levels, with sweeping curves, balconies and distinctive ceiling-mounted acoustic discs shaping its recognizable interior.
The layout maintains a close connection between the audience and the stage despite a capacity of nearly 700 guests. Ceiling acoustic elements support the sound experience, while seating on two levels provides clear views from different parts of the auditorium. The lobbies and visitor amenities of the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts complement the experience before performances and during intermissions.
The theatre is located at 621 W 6th Ave, Anchorage, United States. Discovery Theatre events are accessed through the Carr-Gottstein Lobby along 6th Avenue, while a passenger drop-off area is available at F Street across 6th Avenue; several public parking garages are located within one city block.
