OUR SPACES AND SEATING OPTIONS
MainStage Theater – “There is not a bad seat in the house” is what we hear often from our patrons. This traditional theater space is a stunning environment to enjoy performances, film screenings, and live discussions! The MainStage seats approximately 210 guests comfortably and features a proscenium-style stage.
BlackBox Theater – Our classic BlackBox is entirely wheelchair accessible and offers a flexible layout that may change event-to-event, allowing for a warm, cabaret-style environment tailored for each performance. BlackBox events may incorporate a dance floor or tables and chairs, and are generally sold as general admission seating due to the flexible layout of the space.
Outdoor Stage – BlackRock does not provide traditional seating for its outdoor performances. Patrons are invited to bring their own chairs and blankets. Seating location is on a first come, first serve basis.
