The Auditorium was created by a public bond offering to present a state-of-the-art performing arts center, having 1,000 seats and providing a venue for professional, school and community performances. It functions as a host for performing arts and technical theatre classes and is considered a teaching theatre. It offers everything from nationally touring Broadway to cultural programs, big band, family theater, symphonic and celebrity entertainment. The mission of the Flagler Auditorium is to inspire educational and cultural experiences.
