Venue Rental

The main Theatre building has a large 100 ft x 100 ft white-boxed rental venue complete with Kitchen, and Bar.  The main space also features the original Opera Production Stage built in 1909, and currently being updated with new lighting. Music equipment may be rented through Hancock Partners for those in need of rentals or technical assistance.  We welcome you to learn about the Theatre’s history here in Hancock. Currently our team provide services for: weddings, corporate events, seminars, trade shows, community markets, theatrical productions, operas, charitable fundraising events, private parties and live music events.

Our team recognizes that there are not a lot of available venues currently in Hancock that can seat the volume of people the Hancock Capitol Theatre is able to accommodate. To further help the community for a short time, we are making the spaces available to local civic groups for charitable works and meetings. In the future we hope to designate entire areas within the theatre, front lobby, or upstairs to this long-term opportunity and need. We look forward to hosting and servicing  your company, civic group, or organization in the near future.

The theatre proudly features a 20 foot solid wood bar,  and a stainless steel commercial kitchen. There is also a large prep area adjacent to the main stage. This allows us to accommodate 110-120 seated, with staff and food on the same floor. For larger music or festival events, we can accommodate 150 people standing, depending on furniture configuration and decor. We can help make arrangements for photographers, florists, large deliveries, caterers et al.

Whether you’re hosting a Board, Corporate or Association meeting, Workshop or Information Session, the Scientia Public Library’s Meetings & Event Services department can provide you with a variety of meeting and function rooms.
