WHat's On
The Shed Theatre
Experience live performance in our uniquely rustic, 100-capacity intimate space. Nestled in the natural beauty of Main Ridge, the Shed Theatre has become a favorite for both national and international artists who fell in love with its quirky charm. To support our performers and cover the rising costs of live production, including travel, licensing, and utilities, most of our shows are ticketed.
We truly appreciate your contribution to keeping the arts alive in our community.
Our theatre and restrooms are fully wheelchair accessible to ensure everyone can enjoy the show. While the space is equipped with heating and cooling, it remains an authentic, historic building with limited insulation, so we recommend dressing for the weather to stay comfortable. To make it a true night or afternoon out, we invite you to visit our restaurant right next door. You can enjoy a meal before or after the show in our British themed pub, complete with a cozy fireplace, a relaxing beer garden, and delicious food.
