Palace Theatre

Palace Theatre has been a cornerstone of Manchester's cultural landscape since 1915, dedicated to preserving our historic venue while delivering world-class performing arts experiences. Our 834-seat theatre stands as the region's premier destination for professional productions, community performances, and educational programs that serve audiences of all ages. With a commitment to artistic excellence and community engagement, we operate multiple performance spaces including The Rex Theatre, Forever Emma Studios, and The Spotlight Room. Our youth programs have become the largest and fastest-growing in New Hampshire, providing transformative opportunities for students in grades 2-12 through musical theatre productions, intensive training, and specialized academies.

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with over a century of service, we maintain fiscal responsibility while expanding access to the arts through affordable ticket pricing, financial aid programs, and community partnerships. Our dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to ensure our historic facilities remain accessible to future generations, offering behind-the-scenes tours, educational workshops, and special events that celebrate the performing arts. Through strategic stewardship and community support, we continue to fulfill our mission of enriching regional cultural life while maintaining one of Manchester's most iconic landmarks.
