As Suffolk’s premier visual and performing arts venue for Suffolk, the Suffolk Center boasts a year-round schedule featuring musical performances, theatrical productions, ballet, art exhibits, lectures and galas.
The classic Greek-Revival structure was built in 1922 and served as Suffolk High School until 1990. Situated in the heart of downtown, the impressive structure houses a 500-seat theater, which is the stage for concerts, ballets, musicals, dramatic works, symphony performances, films, children’s plays, puppet shows and so much more.

The first floor of the structure houses Jester’s, a gallery gift shop showcasing local and regional artists, and The Plaid Turnip, an onsite restaurant offering a unique mixture of great food, good friends, and fantastic works by local artists.
