The William H. Mortensen Hall
Proscenium arch
The striking art-deco interior of the 2,800-seat Mortensen Hall stands in contrast to its
conservative exterior. The Bushnell is the first performing arts center outside of New
York to receive the Best of Broadway Award in 1994. The center panel of the ceiling in
Mortensen Hall is the largest hand-painted ceiling mural in the United States entitled
Drama painted by Barry Faulkner in 1929 with a group of Prix De Rome artists.
