| The main auditorium (or proscenium theater) is called the John Chalberg Theatre. As of 2011, the Chalberg's chairs and multi-media equipment have been updated, and it currently seats up to 271 patrons. The space serves productions such as theatrical productions, concerts, guest lecturers, as well as Cultural Arts Series performers. View seating chart of the Chalberg Theatre (pdf) |
The theatre service space at Central Lakes College includes a well-equipped scene shop for preparing some elaborate and innovative sets. | |

| The service space also includes a well-appointed, spacious dressing room area. | The Black-Box theater is named the Bob Dryden Theatre. The Dryden has flexible staging and seats approximately 100, a capacity that varies from show to show. The space accommodates an intimate venue, whether a drama, musical, or Cultural Arts Series event. | |

| Both of our venues - the Chalberg and the Dryden- are accessible to patrons with wheelchairs. Exact seating varies from event to event. Accommodations can be also made for vision, hearing, or other mobility needs. Please notify the Box Office at least 72 hours in advance to make arrangements. | Productions and presentations held in both the Chalberg and Dryden theatres are enhanced by high-end light-sound-special effects technology operated from booth or other off-stage control stations. | |
