The LaGuardia Performing Arts Center’s Mainstage Theatre seats 740 guests on a single level plus up to 12 guests in a wheelchair section. The center’s Little Theatre features a raised, thrust stage surrounded on three sides by 220 steeply raked seats which offer excellent sightlines. Space for eight people in wheelchairs is available behind the last row of fixed seats.

Inside scoop: The center is also involved in the LPAC Lab, an off-shoot talent pool for artists who can develop their works in progress. The Lab offers year-long residencies.
