Facility Rental

Rent the facilities at The Children's Theatre Company for your next event!

We have stunning spaces including the Michael Graves designed Cargill Stage and Lobby, all in a fantastic Minneapolis location near downtown by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Looking for an enchanting and non-traditional space for your reception, meeting, wedding, fundraiser, lecture, or party? Our UnitedHealth Group Stage and Cargill Stage are dynamic, inviting spaces with full lighting, sound and visual media capabilities and a professional technical staff. The lobbies of these spaces and our rehearsal halls are additional locations for more intimate events.

Our approach to your event is the same as our approach to theatre – each special occasion is unique. The combined details of your event are unlike any other, so we work with you to ensure everything comes together. Children’s Theatre Company welcomes ANY caterer with their license and insurance. Liquor can be served if the caterer has their travelling liquor license.

Availability is based on CTC’s theatre production schedule. Please call to enquire about open dates.

Is your theatre or dance company looking for rehearsal space? Check out the classrooms in our Education Center, the Dance Studio and the Rehearsal Halls.
