About the Wilson Center

Welcome to the Allan & Laura Wilson Humanities and Fine Arts Center: Cape Fear Community College’s arts hub and eastern North Carolina’s most technologically advanced performing arts center. The building boasts a grand performance hall­ designed with three floors that wrap the stage, creating excellent views for our guests. The height and drama of the space provoke a reverent and energizing feel.

Our trained Guest Services staff and volunteers will be with you all the way. We are committed to a culture of hospitality at the Center. Our goal is to make your experience seamless and delightful. Be our guest!

The Wilson Center is proud to operate as a laboratory for student learning. Students work on every production at the Wilson Center. Behind the main stage is our studio theater, which hosts professional and student performances meant for a smaller venue. The Center also includes 26 instructional spaces for CFCC students to develop and learn, as well as the Wilma W. Daniels Gallery (located just across the street). Far more than just a performing arts venue, the Center is a powerful investment in the arts for current and future students, and our community. Learn more here .
