The Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center is a multi-purpose theater located on the campus of Northern Virginia Community College. The Center opened in the fall of 2001.

The Schlesinger Center contains a 1,000-seat multi-purpose theater for music, theater, dance, and public forums and seminars. The theater accommodates many performances and events for the various University departments. In addition, the Center provides a venue that has the ability to host large performance groups and off-Broadway theater companies yet remain affordable for local non-profit groups.

Through a system of integrally designed acoustic panels, the stage converts easily between a concert enclosure and fully equipped stagehouse. The system includes four sets of permanently installed side-masking towers, five moveable rear towers, a fixed acoustical back wall that extends above moveable rear towers, and four adjustable-angle ceiling panels. The orchestra pit is an adjustable platform with stops at stage level, seating level, and pit level. Stage rigging is a single purchase counterweight system with forty-two line sets.
