Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre is a performing arts venue located in the Cumberland/Galleria edge city, in northwest Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The $145 million facility celebrated its grand opening September 15, 2007, with a concert by Michael Feinstein and Linda Eder.[1][2]
Located in Cobb County near Vinings, the venue is owned and operated by the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority, and took over two years to build.[2] The naming rights for the facility were acquired for $20 million by Cobb Energy Management Corp.[3] Real estate developer John A. Williams' personal donation of $10 million led to the theater itself being named in his honor.[4]
