Newly renovated Founders Room opens at Blumenthal Arts

Blumenthal Arts has unveiled its new private lounge, ready for guests to upgrade their night at the theater.

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.
