Explore theater rentals in Philadelphia
Theaters offer you all of the space you need for special events. Plays, recitals, auditions, and other live performances are what you usually think of using a theater for. But you can also hold corporate events, social mixers, wedding parties, private screenings, and just about every other event imaginable in a theater!
Philadelphia, with its historic theaters, is a great city to be looking for a rental. You have venues ranging in scale from spaces with enough seating for thousands of people to intimate theaters for private events. Amenities like free parking, changing rooms, and professional lighting will also influence your choice, depending on the kind of event you want to hold!
Discover intimate theater venues in Philadelphia
Not every theater is meant to house hundreds or thousands of people in close proximity. There are plenty of theaters scaled to meet the needs of more intimate events. The Proscenium Theatre at the Drake is just such a venue, with seating for up to 121 guests. It's ideal for lectures, recitals, and other small scale events.
Screening rooms are also intimate theater venues. They offer guests the chance to enjoy the release of an indie movie or view a wedding film without the general public around. Private screening rooms can be found in educational venues that show movies like community centers, museums, and art galleries. Vacation homes, mansions, and estates may also have private screening rooms. The chairs in these intimate theaters are far more comfortable and spacious since the builders aren't trying to fit as many people into the venue as possible. Yet the sound quality and screen resolution are on par with any professional movie theater!
Private theater rentals in Philadelphia
Theaters are public spaces but you can book almost any of them for a private event. For a theater experience in a historic venue the Fillmore Philadelphia is an excellent choice. Modeled after the original version in San Francisco, the Fillmore Philadelphia has hosted major artists for decades. The main event hall offers 25,000 square feet of space with room for up to 2,500 attendees. Yet you also have access to a separate Foundry with capacity for 450 guests and Ajax Hall for private events!
Most box office movie theaters can also be reserved for private events. If you're throwing a bachelor party, company team building event, or other laid back event where you want the movie experience without the crowds, consider reserving a movie theater in its entirety!
