The Ocean City Performing Arts Center is a modern theater located inside the Roland E. Powell Convention Center, created by transforming a former exhibition hall into a multipurpose performing arts venue. Its auditorium accommodates around 1,200 guests across two seating tiers, including side box seating, while the high ceiling and spacious stage support theater productions, concerts, dance performances, comedy shows, and other live events.
The interior combines the atmosphere of an intimate theater with the technical capabilities of a larger performance venue. Sound-absorbing finishes, acoustic panels, and modern sound and lighting systems help provide a clear and balanced performance experience, while the seating layout offers strong sightlines toward the stage. Visitors also have access to a gathering area near the box office and a concession area offering light snacks and beverages before performances and during intermissions.
The theater is located at 4001 Coastal Hwy, Ocean City, Maryland, United States. The entrance is within the Roland E. Powell Convention Center complex, which has an on-site parking area with more than 1,200 spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis; accessible parking is positioned in front of the building.
