The Ralph and Ricky Lauren Center for the Performing Arts is a unique 427-seat performing arts venue — the bold transformation of a 33-year-old school auditorium into a model space for dramatic, dance, musical, and multimedia productions. Made possible by a generous gift from Ralph and Ricky Lauren, the new Center recognizes the power of the performing arts in the lives of deaf and hard-of-hearing children and adults and keeps pace with the technological revolution of our times. It combines an elegant aesthetic with innovative features making it entirely  accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing performers, audience members and stage crews.

With the help of generous grants from the U.S. Department of Education and private supporters, Lexington School students have the opportunity to learn performing arts and appear on the stage of the Ralph and Ricky Lauren Center, side by side with professional artists.   These performances are well attended by family membes, students at Lexington and other schools, and community residents.

The striking beauty and pioneering technology of the Ralph and Ricky Lauren Center set it apart. Thanks to the vision and generosity of the Laurens, it will stand as a model for other performing arts sites for many years to come.
