NEW ORLEANS – Venue operator Winter Circle Productions, and AEG Presents company, celebrates its 10-year anniversary with a major Joy Theater renovation.

To further optimize its visitor experience and on-site event capabilities, cosmetic and technological renovations were completed.

This includes upgrades to the lobby, main concert hall, hospitality spaces, dressing rooms and guest amenities.

The venue hosts over 100 events annually and currently serves as a music and comedy venue, theater for film screenings, and private event space for receptions, meetings, awards ceremonies and lectures.

The 10,000 square foot multipurpose venue features a state-of-the-art audio and visual system, fixed stage, three permanent bars, a multi-tiered balcony and flexible seating plans.
