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 Direc tors 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.

With this in mind, rental rates for the Spencer are—

• Full theater rental, $3500
• Crystal Lobby Rental, $1950 (12-hour period)
• Stage House, $1950 (12-hour period)
• Orchestra Shell, $450
• Outdoor stage, $1950 (12-hour period)
  Lawn prep for outdoor, $450
• Dressing Rooms, $450 (12-hour period)
• Snow removal if needed, $500
  

All rates are plus out-of-pocket costs for material and labor. Labor costs contingent upon set up and the number attending (tech, custodial, bar, prep, etc., etc.). All rates reflect a 12 hour time limit. Ask about special rates that apply to non-profit and community groups.
