From Wikipedia:

"The Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre is a performing arts venue located in the Cumberland/Galleria edge city, just northwest of Atlanta, Georgia. The $145 million facility celebrated its grand opening on September 15, 2007 with a concert by Michael Feinstein and Linda Eder.

Located in Cobb County near Vinings, the venue is owned and operated by the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority, and took over two years to build.The naming rights for the facility were acquired for $20 million by Cobb Energy Management Corp. Real estate developer Williams' personal donation of $10 million led to the theater itself being named in his honor."

"The asymmetrical top of the building rises in swirls similar to a soft-serve ice-cream cone over the multi-story glass facade that allows views of the grand alabaster staircase and lobbies beyond when lit at night. The rising waves were meant to soften the transition to the fly tower required over the stage. Just inside the entrance, visitors are greeted by the commissioned mural "The Nine Muses" by Jimmy O'Neal. The ten 600-pound (270 kg) gold and Murano glass chandeliers in the main lobby and those in the ballroom evoke the glass art of Dale Chihuly. The interior throughout the Centre makes extensive use of traditional theater colors such red and gold as well as dark wood finishes. The Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre is the only performing arts center in memory to be complete within schedule and budget."
