Smith Center to break ground – Concert hall, theater building to be completed sometime early 2012

A groundbreaking for the long-awaited Smith Center for the Performing Arts has been tentatively scheduled for May 26, with construction on the concert hall and theater building expected to be complete by early 2012.

The center is to be the anchor of Union Park, a 61-acre development in downtown Las Vegas on what used to be a Union Pacific railroad yard.

Plans for the center include a 2,050  seat multipurpose main hall, an education building that will house a 300-seat cabaret theater, and a 200  seat flexible studio theater for rehearsals, children’s theater and community events.
