WELCOME to Renaissance Theaterworks!
We're known for handing out chocolates at the end of every performance. And that's just the icing on the cake!
In the artistic home we share with Next Act Theatre, you will feel welcome and cared for. Our performance space, located in the vibrant Walker's Point neighborhood, has parking options nearby and its own parking lot! While you relax in the spacious, comfortable lobby, before the show or during intermission, you can visit the friendly box office and enjoy snacks and beverages from the full bar and concession stand.
