About J.W. Seabrook Auditorium
Welcome to J.W. Seabrook Auditorium, the primary performing arts space on the Fayetteville State University campus. Opened in 1954 as the College Auditorium and renamed in honor of Dr. J. Ward Seabrook, this multi‑purpose venue underwent a comprehensive modernization in 2006 to support a wide range of performances—from dance and theater to music and spoken word. With a seating capacity of 1,132 (adjustable by configuration), Seabrook brings world‑class artistry to central North Carolina and serves as a hub for the community and campus alike.
Whether you’re here for a bold dance production, a legendary concert, or a thought‑provoking reading, you’ll find an intimate yet professional setting, modern amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere. We’ve got you covered with easy, no‑hassle ticket access and up‑to‑date details on seating, parking, and nearby lodging and dining to help you plan a seamless visit.
Note: Seabrook's seating chart is available on the official Seabrook page, ensuring you know exactly where you’ll be seated before you buy. Always confirm your event date, as programming can vary and configurations may affect capacity.

On‑site parking is available, with designated handicapped parking options cited by event organizers. A loading dock is also available for rental setups.
