Theater Rental

Rent The Panida!

PANIDA THEATER USE FEES

As a community owned theater, the Panida depends on the participation of all kinds of people with all kinds of support. While financial assistance is very important to the theater one element of support that is just as important as money is time: the time people give to the Panida. We would be lost were it not for the Friends of The Panida.

An informal group, the Friends of the Panida are dedicated to the theater. Their time is spent volunteering during events at the theater and in the community at special fund raising projects. Volunteers help with ticket sales, ticket taking, concessions, and ushering for events presented by the Panida. In addition to the Panida-produced events the theater is frequently rented by other community organizations, such as POAC and the Unicorn Theater, which require volunteers in a similar capacity. Visiting performing artists use the Panida as a venue and volunteers are, of course, needed!

Our beautiful, historic Panida Theater has been home to a variety of performances. Our Mission: “Inspiring cultural enrichment, education and entertainment through the arts for all generations.” includes producers and patrons and we appreciate your community support by renting the theater. We offer our Panida Main Theater with a full stage and a seating capacity of 450. Movies, dance and live performances, theatre, and more. We also offer our Little Theater – which can be used for business presentations, movies, concerts, a black box theater and more with a seated capacity of 65.
