ArtsBoston is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the arts.
Home of Gloucester Stage Company, the 178 seat blackbox theater hosts professional and community events year round.
Originally built as the Twin Lights Garage in 1915, the brick warehouse building on the Smith Cove has seen many tenants over the century of use, including Gorton’s Seafood. Gloucester Stage moved into the building in 1985 thanks to a warm welcome from Gorton’s, and eventually purchased the building in 2006.
The theater provides an intimate, flexible 3/4 thrust, black box space that can successfully accommodate performances, conferences, and catered events. An Italian-style amaro bar, Dopo Teatro, welcomes patrons in the lobby starting April 1st each year – along with snacks and handcrafted confections from Cake Ann Bakery.
These facilities are available for rent at commercial and non-profit rates, subject to scheduling availability. For more information and booking-related questions or inquiries email info@gloucesterstage.com
