Across our 80,000-square-foot facility, you'll find five exceptional spaces ready to host your event:
This state-of-the-art theater features superb acoustics and excellent lines of sight. It comfortably seats over 1,000 or can be reconfigured for a smaller audience of 580, placing your guests closer to the action. See Technical Specifications.
With its soaring 160-foot glass wall and neutral color scheme, this is the Keweenaw Peninsula's most dramatic and customizable indoor venue, perfect for receptions and large social events. See Technical Specifications.
Perfect for gatherings under 150 guests, offering a smaller, more exclusive feel than our grand lobby or main hall. This space provides a distinctive, customizable atmosphere for intimate live music, fundraisers, receptions, and more.
Our North Mezzanine is ideal for smaller meetings and presentations. This flexible space offers essential tech amenities like a projector, screen, and microphones, or can be configured for a comfortable ambiance with soft seating, a satellite concessions bar, and piano. With elevator access and room for mingling, it’s perfect for intimate gatherings during your event.
A versatile black box theatre ideal for smaller-scale productions, workshops, and rehearsals. Its customizable seating and staging make it perfect for summer camps, festivals, and experimental performances requiring an intimate and adaptable setting. Due to student and faculty usage McArdle Theatre has limited school year availability.
Our team is happy to assist you with all of your reservation questions and requests, including assistance with planning logistics like space layout, accessibility accommodations, linen rentals, equipment needs, directions, and more.
