The mission of Off Center for the Dramatic Arts is to provide an affordable theater space. 
​​We are an entirely volunteer-run organization.

Thinking about booking? Learn more below.
 What we offer:
  • An 80-seat black box theater space which can be booked for single days or weekly rentals
  • A basic lighting grid, board, and rear projection screen for you to use during your booking
  • A great location in the New North End of Burlington, VT with plenty of parking and nearby restaurants 
  • A volunteer support team who will answer your booking questions, orient you to the space, and be available during your booking period should technical or building issues arise
  • Support in spreading the word about your event via the Events Calendar on our website and Off Center's social media

What you bring:
  • Your amazing show, film, dance theater project, staged reading, rehearsal, etcetera, etcetera
  • Your production team and a technician to run the board, and other assistance to run your show
  • Your marketing efforts for your event, posters/other promotional materials, and ticketing processes
  • Your willingness to follow the rules of the space so we can keep our costs low

What we aren't but people sometimes think we are: 
  • A theater company . While many of our board members have theater companies and produce shows, Off Center is not a theater company. We do some theater-related programming to build community and awareness around renting the space, though! See our Off Center Programs page.
  • An event promoter. We put your event on the Events Calendar on our website and social media, but it is up to you to promote your show and drum up an audience.
