Ruth Finley Person Theater
The 1600 seat Ruth Finley Person Theater at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts is the largest fixed seat venue in Sonoma County. The theater’s unique thrust stage design, with no seat further than 75-feet from the stage, provides a level of intimacy between artist and arts patron unlike any other in Northern California.
