Barbara B Mann Performng Arts Hall

One of the many things that sets Barbara B Mann apart from every other entertainment venue in the area is it's proscenium stage. The largest of its kind in Southwest Florida, the stage is able to host epic Broadway tours that can't unload their extensive sets just anywhere; think Phantom of the Opera and Lion King. The auditorium is comfortable, seating just shy of 1900 and has gained a reputation not only locally but also in the entertainment industry for quality and professionalism. Besides national Broadway tours, the performing arts hall books well known musicians, bands, comedians and a host of entertainers. Located on the campus of Florida Southwestern University, arrive early for a walk through the neighboring Bob Rauschenberg Gallery.
