How many seats are there in the Schuster Center?
At the heart of the Schuster Center is the 2,325-seat Mead Theatre with state-of-the-art acoustics and superior sightlines. With three lobby levels and four seating levels, the space was designed to have no seat more than 120 feet from the stage. The stage and theatre house can be configured to best support any form of live entertainment - from live orchestra to a rock show, from grand opera to Broadway. At the center of the concentric circles at the top of the Mead Theatre ceiling is a starfield created by fiber optics, which were just renovated in June 2019. The starfield depicts the Dayton sky on the eve of the Wright Brothers’ first flight in 1903. It is 93 feet from the floor to the starfield. The diameter of the upper ellipse is 40 feet, the length of the wingspan of the Wright flyer. From the last row of the upper balcony to the center of the stage is 120 feet, approximately the distance the Wright Brothers flew that day in Kitty Hawk, N.C. The flexible Mathile Theatre is a black box theatre that can be used for rehearsals, special events, and meetings, as well as smaller productions. The Schuster Center’s most spectacular statement is the six-story high Kettering Wintergarden, a block-long, wrap-around glass atrium with the magnificent Reynolds & Reynolds Palm Grove. It features 1,900 panes of glass and 13,000 square feet of cashmere travertine marble. The Dayton Power & Light Company Foundation Stage serves as a presentation stage for gala events and weddings and doubles as a performance area. The 40-foot-high Dayton Foundation Grand Staircase leads from the Wintergarden up to the balcony lobby levels of the theatre.
