Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center is a concert and performing arts venue on the Mercyhurst University campus in Erie, opened in 1996. With a seating capacity of approximately 792, it offers a more intimate setting than a large arena, while its formal auditorium and distinctive architecture create an elegant theatrical atmosphere. A notable interior feature is its chandeliers, designed in homage to the Metropolitan Opera, and the stage hosts orchestral concerts, dance performances, lectures and other performing arts events.
The interior is designed around a close connection between the audience and the stage and accommodates a wide range of productions. The orchestra level is fully wheelchair accessible, assisted-listening devices are available, and designated accessible parking spaces are provided near the venue. Its relatively compact auditorium combined with professional performance facilities makes the hall suitable for both musical and dance productions.
The venue is located at 501 E 38th St, Erie, United States, within the Mercyhurst University campus. Campus maps designate lots P1, P8, P10 and P12 for concert hall events, with P8 situated next to the Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center, allowing a short walk from parking to the main entrance.
