David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts

David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts

As the largest performing arts complex south of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Center opened in 1987 and provides an environment for a wide variety of world-class events.

The performing arts complex consists of five distinct theaters, a rehearsal hall, retail shops, on-site restaurants and banquet facilities.

The venue was renamed in November 2009 to recognize the generous donation, the largest individual philanthropic gift ever made to a cultural institution in the Tampa Bay area, of financier David A. Straz, Jr.
