Richland Performing Arts Center

The R2 Performing Arts Center features a 1,175-seat auditorium complete with a full-height stage, raised orchestra pit, and balcony level seating. Multi-use educational spaces include dressing rooms that double as dance studios and a versatile rehearsal space suitable for black box productions. The lobby showcases visual arts projects, highlighting student creativity. 

The building’s striking white overhang and modern curtain wall reveal an interior that itself is a performance. This iconic structure symbolizes the district and community’s commitment to high-level performing arts education. Inside is a simple yet dynamic palette. Terrazzo flooring in high-traffic areas for durability and wood grain paneling to enhance acoustic performance. Future expansion includes opportunities for a purpose-built black box theater.
