Schoolhouse Theater

This beautifully restored building was originally opened in 1915 as the Parker Schoolhouse, then in 1967 was taken over by Parker United Methodist Church which built the annex in 1978. It was acquired by the Town of Parker in 1995 to use as a community center. A recent $3 million renovation has restored the historic portion of the building to immaculate condition and completely revamped the newer annex section.The complex includes an event room, meetings rooms, a dance studio, a 200-seat theater, an art gallery curated by the Parker Artist Guild, and an historical museum managed by the Parker Area Historical Society. The facility hosts community arts events and classes in theater, dance, music, and visual arts. The theater lobby now has a large concession area with new bathrooms and much more space and the theater has new seats and risers for much-improved sight lines. The theater is also now fully ADA-compliant.The renovations have been extremely well-done. The new theater lobby is spacious and has a well-designed concession area. There's lots of room for the art gallery and for the little historical museum off to one side. The original Schoolhouse section maintains lots of original woodwork and has been opened up to show the original layout. There are lots of spaces for classes and meetings. The Schoolhouse is right in the middle of historic Parker with lots of shops and restaurants a short stroll away. It is a great adjunct to the larger PACE Center which is a couple of blocks down the street on the edge of the historic district.

Small and cozy venue for a play. We attended a children's play where the actors were ages 6-10 and they all did a fantastic job. There is a bar serving drinks in the waiting area which was nice. There is a parking lot in the back and very limited parking in front. There is additional parking within a block so not to worry.

The building looks like a school. Off Mainstreet next door to the small white church and across from rocketfizz. Odd Couple play was awesome and a great idea for all ages. Holds 200 people and all seats have great view. We grabbed some dinner and headed here after. Unlike Littleton town theatre ( which I love ), here you can use credit card for drinks and snacks.

The performances are great. We just saw The Addams Family and loved it. My only complaint is the seats aren't very comfortable. The whole family struggled to get comfortable, even the 7 year old! If you are a larger person I can't imagine the siesta are comfortable at all. Still worth a visit to see a show!
