The Palace Theatre is a non-profit live performing arts theatre located in downtown Manchester, NH. In an area that once had 22 theatres, this historic building is the sole survivor of Manchester’s own ‘Great White Way.’ We are committed to achieving our mission through preserving the historic facilities of the theatre, responding creatively to the cultural and entertainment needs of the community and governing in a fiscally responsible and strategic manner.

Since its reopening in 1984, the Palace Theatre has hosted concerts, comedy acts, magicians and many other types of performances with famous personalities including Don Rickles, Bob Newhart, Lisa Williams, and Arlo Guthrie. Each year from September to June, the Palace produces several professional productions, known as the Citizens Bank Performing Arts Series.

These performances provide a cheaper alternative to touring shows in Boston, MA. Auditions are held in New York City and we bring in the best fresh talent to perform on our stage. Downtown Manchester is vibrant and offers a variety of restaurants and various opportunities to shop.

While our signature events are professional Broadway-style musical productions, the Palace Theatre is home to extensive educational programs for youth to express their interest in theatre and to develop their skills as individual artists.

Our beautiful 856 seat theatre is the only one of its kind in this area and the staff who work here are committed to preserving it. Our new administrative offices are located adjacent to the theatre in the newly renovated United Arts Center which is also home to other local non-profit arts organizations.

In addition to these office spaces, the United Arts Center is the rehearsal center of the theatre, with two large dance studios used for rehearsals by the Palace Professional Theatre, the Palace Youth and Teen Theatre and the Palace Teen Company as well as all other Palace performing groups.

I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change
September 23 – October 8, 2011
This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as “the relationship.” This hilarious show pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, 'Say, what are you doing Saturday night?' If this show were a blind date, you'd feel ‘relieved, grateful and pleasantly surprised.’
Produced through special arrangements with Rodgers and Hammerstein.
 

Guys & Dolls
November 4 – November 19, 2011
Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, this oddball romantic comedy - considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy - soars with the spirit of Broadway. Don’t miss the Palace Theatre’s adaptation with Broadway style sets and costumes of 1950s New York City.
Produced through special arrangements with Music Theatre International.
 

The Nutcracker
November 25 – November 27, 2011
Don’t miss this magical holiday tradition with the Southern New Hampshire Dance Theater and live orchestra! The Nutcracker follows the story of a young German girl who dreams of a Nutcracker Prince and a fierce battle against a Mouse King with seven heads.
 

A Christmas Carol
December 2 – December 23, 2011
The Annual Palace Theatre tradition continues with Charles Dickens’ classic story of Scrooge and Tiny Tim, filled with lively song and dance featuring over fifty actors. Scrooge, known for his penny pinching ways, is visited by three ghosts on a snowy Christmas Eve. These ghostly visits reveal Scrooge’s past, present, and future to him and fill him with new found hope and joy in the Christmas season! Voted “Best Theatre Event of the Year” in Manchester by the Hippo Press readers, this show has fast become an audience favorite at the Palace.
 

Lend Me a Tenor
January 13 – January 28, 2012
Everyone at the Cleveland Opera Company is anxiously anticipating the arrival of famed Italian opera star Tito Merelli to perform the title role in Othello. But when it appears that Tito is incapacitated, Company Manager Saunders and his assistant Max come up with a plan to fool everyone with a stand in...What could possibly go wrong? Like any good farce, and this certainly is one, a complicated web of mistaken identity, crazy plot twists, double entendres, slamming doors and everybody desperately wanting something from poor Tito the tenor.
Produced through special arrangements with Samuel French.
 

Royalty of Rock & Pop
February 17 – March 3, 2012
If you enjoyed last year’s highly praised, The Four Piano Men, the original production by Artistic Director, Carl Rajotte, then don’t miss Royalty of Rock & Pop a Tribute to the Music of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. Put on your blue suede shoes and moon walk on over to the Palace Theatre to catch Carl’s second original musical production. Top vocalists and dancers from New York City will engage you as the show takes you on a trip through the accomplishments of two of the most influential entertainers of all time.
 

Chicago
March 23 – April 14, 2012
An electrifying tale of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery – all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts. Filled with one showstopper after with some of the best dancing, a gorgeous ensemble performing eye-popping numbers choreographed in the style of Bob Fosse.
Produced through special arrangements with Samuel French.
