The main entrance to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center features a large rotunda and four level atrium, which serves as a pivotal point for access to all public spaces. This atrium extends across the entire south façade of the building and features a grand staircase to the upper levels of the theater. Each landing of these upper levels becomes part of the lobby space getting progressively smaller as they reach the top. From each of these landings, patrons see and experience the total lobby space. Large glass windows enclose the exterior wall of the lobby, allowing the patrons to look out onto College Avenue. A large sloped skylight at the east end of the lobby rises above the ceiling of the Founders Room. This element not only provides a visual release for the interior but also is a key component to the exterior massing composition. Two elevators are provided to access all levels of the lobby with ample restroom facilities and concession stands throughout.

The main lobby, when Thrivent Financial Hall is not in use, may be rented for banquets, receptions or other events. With four stories of windows facing College Avenue and beautiful terrazzo floors, the main lobby provides one of the most unique and beautiful reception areas in the Fox Cities. The main lobby features two built-in bars, easy access to restrooms and a coat check.

Capacity may vary depending on room setup.

The dress circle lobby may also be rented if Thrivent Financial Hall is not in use. With carpeted floors and a beautiful balcony overlooking the main lobby and downtown Appleton, the dress circle lobby offers a wonderful space for a reception, banquet or luncheon. The lobby also features easy access to restrooms, a built-in bar and immediate access from the elevators.

Capacity may vary depending on room setup.
