Renting the lobby

The Venables Theatre lobby is the perfect place for receptions, parties, weddings, photography and a wide range of community events from small trade shows and exhibitions to craft sales.  With a curved staircase as its centerpiece and floor to ceiling windows, the lobby adds a casual elegance and charm to events held there. The theatre received a donation of a Petrof grand piano which now resides in the lobby and is available for performances and recitals.

The licensed concession in fully staffed and offers a range of drinks and refreshments, while the built-in seating areas and high top tables provide casual corners for  conversations.
