At the Thrasher-Horne Center Studio Theater, we help you to establish a direct connection between your art and the community.

With excellent lighting and sound capabilities, you are assured that your performers will always look and sound their very best. The option of a standing or seated audience, general admission or assigned seats, or any combination of the above allows for limitless customization and comfort for your fans. Our Studio also boasts professional concessions availability, full ADA compliance, merchandise table options, and a direct connection to our backstage dressing rooms and green room, when available. In the Studio Theater, the comfort of your artists and fans is our top priority.
Showcases (Dance/Chorus/Band)
Music and art are best experienced in an intimate setting. Our audiences at Thrasher-Horne Center have consistently rated our Studio Theater with high marks, partly due to the direct artist connection they are able to foster within the space. It is an experience that cannot be duplicated in a traditional proscenium theater, and for this reason it is the ideal setting for artist showcases of all forms. Whether your group’s artistic disciplines fall in the category of vocal performance, orchestral performance, dance, or various other types of expression, look to our Studio to provide the perfect foundation for your upcoming staging. Ballroom dance groups and school recitals have also found this room to be a perfect fit.

Take the responsibility and hassle off of yourself and your home, and allow us to open our doors for a no-stress event your family and friends will remember for years to come. With professional servers and bartenders available, plus a full warming kitchen for catered meals and buffets, we have your next celebration covered from beginning to end.
