Program recommendations for the State Theatre Concert Hall and Playhouse here follow. They are general in nature. For budget and design purposes, we have arbitrarily assigned event days to these venues. This arbitrary selection of the number of events projected for this venue is, however, guided by market and management considerations. 4a. The State Theatre Concert Hall: There are several live performance events or productions, locally produced or commercial promoter sponsored, which fit in a house of the size of the proposed Concert Hall to be constructed in the State- Theatre. These are fine arts events which are presently using less desirable facilities in and around South Bend. These events become a starting place for our program profile for this Concert Hall. In addition to the fine arts series there are popular, civic and educational events which rightly demand a 700 -750 seat house in downtown South Bend. Here is a partial list of events for which the Concert Hall would be the best venue: Chamber Orchestra /Groups: 2 -3 event days Small Symphony: 1 -2 event days Modern Dance: 3 -4 event days Concert Opera: 1 -2 event days Jazz Band or Big Band Concerts: 2 -4 event days Choral Concerts: 1 -3 event days Touring Children's Theatre: 1 -2 event days As a promoter house: 10 -15 event days As a presenter house: 15 -20 event days Cabaret(musical theatre): 15 -18 event days Southhold Dance Company: 3 -5 event days Century Center Convention Programming: 5 -7 event days Civic, corporate, educational use: 9 -11 event days Film presentation: 4 -6 event days TOTAL: 72 -101 EVENT DAYS - 18 -
