Addison Theatre Centre

One of the country’s most architecturally unique performance venues sits right in the heart of Addison. The Addison Theatre Centre was thoughtfully designed by Gary Cunningham in the early 1990s, and today it provides a unique space for all kinds of events and performances. The Terry Martin Main Stage takes the idea of black box theaters to a new level and can completely transform to meet your needs. Sometimes, however, a simple venue allows for the most creative performances. The Studio Theatre can help you create an intimate experience with its simple black box design.

In addition to The Terry Martin Main Stage and The Studio Theatre, event planners and organizers can rent the courtyard, and green space outside, as well as the upstairs and downstairs lobbies in the Theatre Centre. Whether you’re creating an event with an elegant atmosphere or providing a sensational experience for your attendees, the Addison Theatre Centre can adapt to any vision.

Unparalleled Architecture

The Addison Conference & Theatre Centre was designed with Addison’s rich history in mind. Thanks to Cunningham’s elegant work, the Theatre Centre is a space unlike any other. Architecture Magazine’s David Dillon (1992) described Cunningham’s design as a “combination factory and Renaissance playhouse.” Dillon praised Cunningham’s insight and noted, “By placing four structural columns along one side of the room and arranging the numerous doors so that they can't be ignored, Cunningham has guaranteed that architecture will influence everything that happens on stage. The industrial space is meant to challenge actors and directors instead of fading into the background. Every corner of the theater provides a space of strong character.”

The marrying of industry, history, and nature displayed by the Addison Theatre Centre inspires new heights of creativity. Book your next performance or event at the Addison Theatre Centre for a truly unique artistic experience.
