Auditorium Rental
Seating Capacity:
Main Floor 632 + Balcony 333 = Total 965
Auditorium rental is based on a standard 8 or 10 hour daily block of time. The type of renting organization and how the organization uses the facility determines the duration and rental rate of a daily time block. Any time used in excess of a standard daily time block is charged a hourly overtime rate. Gallery use and rental is charged on a hourly rate and is not part of the standard auditorium rental.
The rental organization will be provided an estimated rental cost at the time a theater rental lease is negotiated. This estimate will be based upon the dates and times the renter provides the theater. You will be charged based upon your actual use of the facility.
All rentals are contracted through the High Point Theatre Operations Office. For more information, please contact us via the form on the Booking Page.
