Heymann Center - Lafayette

1373 South College Road
Lafayette, LA

Architect A. Hayes Town designed the first municipal auditorium in Lafayette in 1957, envisioned by Mayor Jerome Domengeaux and Herbert Heymann. Bringing economic, cultural and educational benefits to the hub city, this auditorium would serve the people of Acadiana, an eight-parish region in South Louisiana and the heart of Cajun Country. Construction on the auditorium was completed in 1960.

Over 60 years later and after numerous renovations, the rededicated Heymann Performing Arts Center continues to benefit the city and those who enjoy its attractions. Located adjacent to Lafayette’s Oil Center, the auditorium facilitates internationally renowned performances and locally curated works throughout the year. Home to Broadway musicals, popular concerts, symphony, theatre and more!
