performance space

Where shows happen

A performance space is a venue designed or used for live artistic presentations—theater, dance, music, or other performing arts.

The term is broader than "theater" and often suggests a flexible, adaptable venue rather than a traditional stage: The gallery doubles as a performance space for experimental work.

We're looking for a performance space that can seat about two hundred.
