Host your next event with Circuit Arts!
Our spaces are available for private events, film screenings, performances, and community gatherings.
Pricing varies based on the type of event, spaces used, and staffing needs.
How Rentals Work
We love hosting events across our spaces, and we’re happy to work with you to find the right fit and set you up for success.
That being said, our rentals are largely “space only.” While our team will help you book your event and coordinate any in-house staffing, Circuit Arts does not provide event coordination services. You’ll be responsible for planning and running your event, with our staff on site to support the space itself.
As part of that process, we’ll help you think through which venue best suits your event, and may recommend a different space to ensure the best experience for you and your guests.
All rentals include a House Manager, who is present throughout your event to oversee the venue and serve as a resource. Depending on your event, additional technical staff may be required, particularly for film screenings and live stage use.
We offer optional add-ons, including additional staffing, concessions service, and ticketing support, to help round out your event.
Events must be booked at least 30 days in advance.
Please review the details about our venues below:

These venues are best suited for film screenings, talks, performances, and community gatherings.
A few important notes:
Technical staff is required for film screenings and live stage events
The theaters cannot accommodate live Zoom or hybrid events
Live music events require a separate sound professional hired by the renter (we’re happy to share preferred vendors)
The Playhouse lobby is also available for gatherings
-
Drive-In rentals include both a venue manager and technical staff to run your screening.
As an outdoor venue, events are weather-dependent. While a little rain can be manageable, we do cancel in unsafe conditions, including heavy rain, high winds, or lightning. Decisions are made on the day of the event with care for both guests and equipment.
If a weather-related cancellation is made before your event begins, a partial refund of your deposit will be issued. If a screening is interrupted after it has started, refunds are not available, though rescheduling may be possible depending on availability.
The Drive-In is open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays in the summer, and is not available for rent on those days.
