RENTING THE TAMPA THEATRE

Did you know that besides 650 public movie screenings, every year the Tampa Theatre also hosts:

• Over 35 performing arts events attended by over 30,000 area school children as part of the Arts Council’s Theatre Field Trip program?
  
• Scores of company meetings and employee seminars by companies such as Verizon, IBM, Estee Lauder, the U. S. Postal Service and Bank of America?
  
• Weddings, pre-show receptions, state, national and international conferences?
  

The Tampa Theatre was saved and restored as a film and special events center.  The Theatre’s impressive architecture is a catapult for the imagination, and is a perfect setting for corporate and organizational events.  A seasoned, professional staff with over 80 years combined experience can make your next event a smash hit. Rental rates and fees vary greatly depending upon the day and time of the event, staging requirements, and front-of-house considerations.

WALK-THROUGHS OF THE THEATRE ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
