The creation of the Live Arts Contemporary Performing Arts Center in an historic pumping station capitalizes on the new James Corner-designed Race Street Pier Park to reactivate Philadelphia’s waterfront and create a year-round presence for the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe. The Center will house artist workspace, a flexible 225-seat theater, a restaurant/bar, rehearsal studios, and office and meeting space and will feature year-round programming.
