Proctors’ historic MainStage Theatre is the heart of both Schenectady and the Capital Region’s arts and entertainment scene. The MainStage, with an audience capacity of 2,646, is a proscenium stage space with a newly renovated stage house large enough to host the biggest Broadway shows.

This space is available for rental as a traditional live performance space, movie theatre or as a stage-only event venue.
