About Ferguson Hall - The Straz Center

Ferguson Hall is a theater and music hall within the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts at 1010 North Macinnes Place in downtown Tampa. The Straz Center opened in 1987 as the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and was renamed the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts in 2009. Ferguson Hall was originally known as the Playhouse and now operates as one of the center’s seated performance spaces, with a capacity of approximately 1,000 seats.

The venue is operated by the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts, a nonprofit organization, and the complex is located on city of Tampa land along the Hillsborough River.

Ferguson Hall hosts Broadway touring productions, Opera Tampa performances, ballet and dance, classical and orchestral concerts, touring musical acts, comedy, and family shows. Its moderate scale makes it well suited to performances where closeness, sightlines, and sound matter, and it is one of several performance spaces in the Straz Center complex alongside the larger Carol Morsani Hall.
