Schauer Arts & Activities Center

This is a great theatre in our town. Their calendar each year brings in national acts all year long. A intimate setting, to be sure. The acoustics are suited for the performance venue, and this facility plays host to many local organizations. A theatre group, the Hartford Players, the Hartford City Band, and the Hartford Community Chorus.The Ruth A Knoll theatre is a fantastic place to take in a show on the weekend. Pike's peak plays host to local art n showcase as well as a banquet hall that is available for events and weddings.Good friends of ours were married here. I was truly impressed. A great venue for a wedding and easily transferred the event upstairs for the reception. To summarize, the theater is top notch, the shows are nationally recognized acts, and for the value, this is a great venue.

Last night I attended Broadway Rox at The Schauer Center with some friends. What a great show! It's amazing to see that level of talent in little Hartford, WI. The performers sang songs from many of the top broadway shows from over the last 20 or 30 years. Most of them were from very recent shows like Wicked, American Idiot, and Rent. I have attended other music and theatre performances at The Schauer Center and have always been impressed with the quality talent that they bring in. Other favorites were Late Night Catechism, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Chapter 6 an a cappella singing group.The facility itself is really cool. They did such a nice job turing an old building into an arts center, while preserving the history and look of the building.One of my best friends had their wedding reception at The Schauer Center and we all had a great time. It's such a cool building to have a wedding in.

We attended a wedding anniversary celebration here and were very impressed with the venue and service. Nice place for a private party and I'm sure from what we saw, a nice place to attend theater. Intimate and very nicely done.

We always do our school musicals there and I like it but the backstage is a bit on the small side for the 40-80 people+parent volunteers in the play.

We used the Schauer Arts Center for our wedding reception so my review is strictly for those considering it for their wedding. I couldn't be happier that I decided to have our reception here! The place has great character and style with plenty of space for any amount of guests. We had about 150 guests and there was plenty of room for people to walk between tables and not feel cramped. The price was very reasonable compared to other places we looked and the fact that the bar is all set up through the Schauer Center helped save money compared to most places we made budgets for while deciding. They are able to get pretty much any beer, wine, or alcohol you want and assisted in keeping within our budget. The additional option of renting the Auto Museum is great to give the guests something to enjoy during down time while the bridal party did photos. The director of event services, Brandon Herr, was fabulous! He kept everything organized and had great rapport with the other vendors. I really don't know how he keeps it all organized while being of such great assistance to everyone. So happy we chose the Schauer Arts Center for our wedding and will continue to recommend it to everyone!

The Schauer Arts Center is a fantastic space for a wedding, and their event planning staff, especially Jessica Helmer, were absolutely amazing with keeping track of all of the parts of my event and really making me feel at ease going into my wedding day. Jessica was always available for any questions, no matter how small or how many times I had asked it. The movement from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception was absolutely flawless, and the venue's bar staff were attentive and really helped make all of our guests feel at ease and enjoy themselves. Jessica's hard work really made my wedding day the best day of my life. I would absolutely recommend this venue and their wonderful event team to any bride looking for a very memorable wedding.

Sooo happy with this venue! Went here for their open house and was impressed. I'll admit, I wasn't sure what to expect...however, I was pleasantly surprised! The building is newly renovated and provides a unique and updated setting with plenty of space and sunlight. The service was personalized and friendly, and the bartenders were quick and efficient. While at the open house, we questioned some options, inquiring about a space for our family Xmas. Our questions were answered honestly and immediately. They offered to open their space to us and even indicated that they would assist us in finding some local music for our event. They've been open and willing to work with our expectations throughout the planning and have been more than helpful! Would definitely recommend working with this staff and their venue!
