Boutwell Memorial Auditorium is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena located in Birmingham, Alabama. It was built in 1924 as Birmingham's Municipal Auditorium, on a site near City Hall, facing Capitol Park. The building was designed by Thomas W. Lamb, working with a committee of local architects. A later renovation added to the lobby and meeting room space in front of the brick facade, giving the street view of the auditorium a decidedly modernist marble, aluminum and glass look. The auditorium was renamed for Mayor Albert Boutwell. The auditorium remains the property of the city. It was home to the Birmingham Power basketball team. Master plans for the future of the Birmingham Museum of Art, which adjoins Boutwell Auditorium, have included expanding onto its current site. The interior of the facility includes seating in a horseshoe shape with a stage at the end opposite a balcony. The venue is multi-purpose and can be configured to suit athletic events, theatre and other events.
In September 1996, the Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center was founded on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham as a lasting tribute to the late Mrs. Alys Robinson Stephens, a lifelong patron of the arts and a well-known and beloved member of the Birmingham community. The Center became the home of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra as well as UAB’s Department of Music and Department of Theatre. The Alys Stephens Center quickly became the center for entertainment and arts education in Birmingham and central Alabama and has established itself as the premier center for arts and education in the area with more than 100,000 visitors annually. One of the most important elements of the ASC story is our collective opportunity to establish and grow community — not only among the people around us, but also within the larger, more esoteric meaning of the word. It’s about pride in ownership and infusing a sense of civic opportunity and responsibility in all that we do. It’s about people, performers, professors and more. We are a community of caring, like- minded, kindred spirits who come together with the common goal to inspire, educate, entertain and encourage one another to reach their full potential. We are a community in the most basic and tangible sense of the word, and together we are driven to even more. As the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s performing arts center, we are proud to serve as a bridge to the arts for the community. We educate and entertain – come and experience the arts at UAB's Alys Stephens Center.

BOOKING TIPS: Don't expect to make a lot of money. The crew work 10 hours a day / 7 days a week for free. We take a small percentage out of the door to help put a dent in our massive rent/power bill. We all come from bands in the DIY/Punk scene, and will always treat you the way we'd expect to be treated. This doesn't mean that we'll go out of our way to make sure every detail is perfect. It's Rock N Roll and mistakes do happen, especially when lack of sleep is involved. ATTENTION LOCAL BANDS: It would be nice if you'd write me back about being supporting acts for the great but not so famous touring bands coming through instead of only writing me when there's a popular group announced. Let's keep this interesting not only for ourselves but for everyone involved.
