Reserving The Historic Grove Theater

IMPORTANT NOTE: We are primarily a performing Arts venue. Friday and Saturday’s are the optimal time for doing shows and we tend to give priority to concerts, recitals, plays, and other events that make use of our large audiorium / stage. While we do have classrooms and they are available for use, if requesting a weekend time slot, expect lobby and bathroom traffic — and expect that you may have to coordinate with the Arts group on the calendar for use of rooms.

1.  First, check the facility calendar below for available dates. The calendar is as up-to-date as possible, but there are always cancellations and new requests being considered.  So, don't hesitate to inquire about a date regardless of how it might appear on the calendar. 

2. If you'd like to inquire about a date or time, you're welcome to send an email to our admin team who currently handles booking for the theater — highplaceschurch@gmail.com  

3. A completed facility use agreement is required for all events to be considered formally booked. You can fill out and submit the agreement here: Facility Use Agreement. Our facility management team reviews requests usually on Monday’s, so if you request give through the next Monday to respond if you can. Thank you!

4. If your event plans to serve alcohol, please read: The Grove Theater Alcohol Policy.

5. When a requested date is available, an orientation will be scheduled to familiarize you with the facility and complete the necessary paperwork to secure the date.

6. ALWAYS check back here after receiving an approval for your request. Go to the date you request and make sure it appears on our calendar. Check the details that have been recorded to insure accuracy. Thank you!

7. If you have promotional materials, please forward them to highplaceschurch@gmail.com so they can be added to our website.

That's it! Remember that part of our vision is creating a shared space so be flexible, be patient, and be respectful to staff and property as we work with you on your event. We're on this journey together; our destination is a brighter tomorrow by celebrating community and building trust.
