A Destination for Entertainment

The Arts

The arts have an unparalleled ability to bridge a community—diverse stories evoking a connection to humanity. And we believe a theater is the perfect space to foster the kind of conversation and discovery, contributing to the vibrancy and appeal of downtown Wooster.

The Vision
We have strengthened the local arts community by renovating the vacant building on the corner of South and Liberty Streets to be an independent cinema and live performance venue.

    • East Theater - ~100 seats, sloped floor, recliners, booths, and High Top Tables
    • West Theater - ~65 seats, rocker seats, cinema sofas with ottomans
