About the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre

The Empire Theatre opened in 1913 and was lovingly restored in the 1990s after decades of declining use. Today it's an intimate, working touring house with warm acoustics and clear sight lines from every seat.

Camp uses the theatre's main stage daily for ensemble work, with studio rehearsal rooms and the green room hosting smaller breakout sessions. ATG's relationship with the venue gives campers professional-grade access most programs can't offer.
