The Egg is a performing arts center located in Albany, NY’s Empire State Plaza. An unmistakable feature of the capital city’s skyline, the venue houses two theatres, the Lewis A. Swyer Theatre (450) and the Kitty Carlisle Hart Theatre (982), encased in a domed, egg-like concrete structure that took 12 years to construct. The Egg presents music, art, theatre, comedy, dance, and family entertainment year-round.
The Egg itself is owned by the State of New York and managed by the not-for-profit Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center Corporation.
