The Alaska Center for the Performing Arts
Discovery Theatre
The two levels of the Discovery Theatre seat 700. A lush rose and forest green color scheme capture the essence of wild Alaskan berries. The seat upholstery, designed by Alaskan resident Paula Dickey, is accurately entitled “Salmonberries” and plays well with the silver acoustical discs hanging from the ceiling.
Sydney Laurence Theatre
The Sydney Laurence Theatre is named after the Alaskan painter whose work is now displayed in the Smithsonian Institution’s National Collection of Fine Arts and the Anchorage Museum of History and Art. The auditorium has a calming palette of blues, grays, and mauves reflected in the seating upholstery entitled “Forest Floor,” designed by Alaskan resident Hugh McPeck. The asymmetrical seating arrangement features open boxes and seats 340.
