About Pioneer Center for The Performing Arts

Pioneer Center for The Performing Arts opened in 1967 and serves as Reno’s principal performing arts venue. Located at 100 S. Virginia St. in downtown Reno, the theater seats approximately 1,500 guests across two levels: the orchestra on the main floor and the balcony above. The venue is operated by Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts, a nonprofit organization, and the facility is associated with the City of Reno.

The venue’s programming includes touring Broadway musicals and plays, ballet and dance, symphony and classical concerts, popular music concerts, comedy, and family and cultural performances. Its size gives it a slightly larger feel than some Broadway houses while preserving the focused sightlines of a proscenium performance hall.

Pioneer Center for The Performing Arts is best known for its distinctive gold-anodized aluminum geodesic dome and its role as downtown Reno’s longstanding home for touring Broadway, dance, and concert programming.
