General Info

Since the doors of the Sovereign Center and Sovereign Performing Arts opened, the facility has played host to a variety of sold out concerts and family shows, including Stevie Nicks, Disney on Ice, Elton John, Cher, Kenny Chesney, Yanni, Brooks and Dunn, The Eagles, Rod Stewart and The Wiggles. The addition of the Reading Eagle Theater came in the summer of 2004 when the Reading Eagle Newspaper purchased naming rights to the universal theater configuration. This set-up turns the Sovereign Center into a smaller, more intimate setting for shows ranging in size from 2,500 to 4,500 patrons. Artists such as Dolly Parton, Dave Koz, Marilyn Manson and Brad Paisley have all played the Reading Eagle Theater in either sold-out or nearly sold-out capacities. Located in Reading, Pa., Sovereign Center is privately owned and employs nearly 300 people.
