It’s showtime for Blumenthal Arts’ newly renovated Founders Room, a private VIP lounge tucked steps away from Belk Theater. The new guest lounge recently opened, and promises an upscale addition to a night at the theater.

The 2,200-square-foot lounge features contemporary touches — plush seating, soft mood lighting, and stylish flooring — designed to feel both elegant and inviting. Every guest is greeted with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, plus light snacks and a cash bar stocked for pre-show sips and intermission refills.

The lounge offers a chance to elevate your theater experience — perfect for date night, special occasions, or anyone who loves a little extra sparkle with their show. Want to be in “the room where it happens”? Founders Room passes can be added to general admission tickets for $45. Up next on stage: “SIX” — tickets are on sale.
