Rentals Bring your performance to the Publick Playhouse!
The Publick Playhouse is the premiere showcase venue for central Prince George’s County. Our 494-seat theatre has a generous stage that is 30-feet deep with a 42-foot wide proscenium opening. Both the acoustics and site lines are exception from every seat in the house. The Playhouse is also equipped with a 20-foot-electric movie screen for films or multimedia presentations.
Although it welcomes applications for use from any organization, the Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission gives pricing priority for rental of its facilities to non-profit performing arts groups based in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. Non-profit groups must provide proof of their non-profit status, and all rental groups must provide a certificate of $1,000,000 liability insurance, naming the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.
All rentals include our professional staff providing lighting, sound, front of house, and box office services.
To reserve dates or request a site visit, please call us at 301-277-1711. A rental contract is required to use the facility.
