Built in 1925, the Palace Theater is a statuesque, proscenium arch style theatre, which has hosted some of the most spectacular performances throughout the duration of its operation.<
Today, the Palace Theater is home to an immensely popular Performing Arts School as well, which insists on small class size to ensure personalized instruction. The history of the Place Theater is every bit has awe-inspiring as the edifice, with its beginnings as one of the first six theaters in Lockport, while also one of the first to boast of air-conditioning, a pipe organ and an orchestra pit. Deigned by noteworthy architect Charles Dickinson, the Palace Theater was built in the semblance of the Paramount Theater in New York City, and current-day visitors can still view the painstakingly crafted murals on the ceiling. Gutted by a gas explosion in 1972, the theater has been rebuilt to much of its former opulence and is now equipped with the latest in sound and lighting technology.
You can even rent out this impressive structure as a venue for your performances or private gatherings, to make the most of the remodeled dressing rooms, the dramatic front curtain and crystal clear acoustics and invite an audience of up to 1,056 members. Tickets to the Palace Theater can be purchased at the venue, over the website, by telephone or via mail. The Theater also makes provisions for reserved seating and has special discounts for children and seniors.
