Spa Little Theater Renovations
Spa Little Theater was built in 1935 and has played a wide range of roles over the past 91 years, from hosting lectures on mineral waters, to providing entertainment for wounded soldiers during WWII, to presenting decades of theater and opera productions. Since 2022, Spa Little Theater has been the home of SPAC’s year-round programming, including dance, theater, jazz, classical, and world music performances.
As part of our Four Seasons Anniversary Campaign, the $12 million renovation project is the first major renovation since Spa Little Theater was built, and will preserve its exceptional acoustics and historical integrity while making the onsite experience more enjoyable and accessible for attendees. Improvements will include a fully upgraded theater and lobby, along with a new café, community room with outdoor patio, and artist suite/dressing rooms.
