Box Office

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the performing arts!

Our venue is an intimate one, with a 1,200 seat main stage theatre and a one of a kind theatre in the round that seats just shy of 300. The stellar views, great acoustics, cushy seats and wide aisles in the main stage theatre help to make the performances just that much more enjoyable and memorable. The proximity to the artists and the unique atmosphere in the theatre in the round makes you feel like you are part of the performance; up close and personal.

Over the years we have been lucky enough to have amazing acts and artists such as Victor Borge, Bob Newhart, Bill Cosby, Peter, Paul and Mary, Kansas, Kathy Matthea and more grace our stage. This year, our presentation of performances is being presented in a smaller capacity due to budget cuts, but the quality of entertainment continues to be top notch.

More than ever before, we will be adding performances and events to our schedule throughout the year. There are a number of ways to find out about our upcoming events, including: our web calendar, facebook, twitter and our email list. If you are interested in specials, pre-sales and more, please join our mailing list and “Like” us on facebook.
