The theater is available for rental for rehearsal dinner functions, weddings, receptions and other special events.
The theater features a state of the art 514 seat "stage house," a back outdoor stage, Crystal Lobby area, kitchen facilities, a stage area that has been used for banquets, parties and receptions, and the Founder's Room (which can only be rented by a Spencer Directors Circle, or above, contributor). The theater offers full bar service and catering if desired.
Rental rates are very hard to quote because each event normally comes with differing labor, equipment and food requirements. Also, there are charges related to use of our ticketing system if it is required.
Outside catering is allowed only by licensed caterers.
