Rabobank Theater and Convention Center

The Rabobank Theater and Convention Center (formerly Bakersfield Civic Auditorium) is a performing arts theater and convention facilities located in Bakersfield, California.
It was was originally constructed in for the purpose of helping the city's economy by attracting the convention trade to the city. The building was one of the first in the city that was constructed in a modern architecture style. It was built so that it could accommodate not only sports and conventions, but had an orchestra pit and box seating put in so that it could also host events like Broadway plays, opera and ballet. In November, 1962 the doors opened and the fist show was the Ice Capades.
One of the most unique quirks of the arena is that because it hosts both a theater and convention center, larger production events can easily stage their production at the more open convention center and then move things over next door.
