The Palace Theatre was built in 1925 as a 1200 seat proscenium arch style theatre. With the exception of the lighting and rigging systems. little has been changed to alter the layout of the theatre. The theatre boasts a full orchestra pit complete with a hydraulic organ lift. Pipe chambers flank the proscenium which are the new location of our state-of-the-art JBL theatre speakers.

If you would like to rent the space for a production or event, please contact the Palace at (716) 438-1130

New Management
We are proud to announce the formation of The Palace Theatre Board. As a not-for-profit organization the new board will oversee the running of the theatre. Please feel free to call us at (716) 438-1130 Monday through Friday 10am-2pm.

The board has already been busy organizing our volunteers, evaluating our electrical needs, prioritizing our maintenance issues, looking into grants and basically keeping our doors open. The board meets once a month as a whole and oversees the operations of various committees other times throughout the month.
