Even before the construction of the current modern home the Conservancy, theatrical performances were regularly part of the community’s life together. Initially operated by Midtown Arts Common, the Theatre transitioned its operations in the 1990s to a new partner, who brought a vibrant and diverse program that enriched the cultural offerings available to the city’s community.

It is no surprise that the new building’s blueprints included a 175-seat black-box theatre. From the first, the stage has featured works of all kinds, from the premiere of the award-winning Elephant Man to the recently praised Souvenir.

We have been home to several distinguished performing arts companies over the years. Each partner has brought unique artistry and vision to the space, complementing our deep-rooted support for the arts, reflecting our dedication to fostering diverse artistic expressions and creating a vibrant community for both artists and audiences.
