Opened April 10, 1931, this fabulous structure bears the name of the world-famous Warner Brothers who commissioned it to be built in 1929. The air-conditioned Warner Theatre provides over 2,250 upholstered, theater-style seats that can be used for lectures, presentations, and entertainment purposes. The grand and beautiful front lobby of the Warner can be used to hold small receptions of up to 250 people in a sit-down fashion. As many as 500 people can be accommodated for a stand-up buffet.
The proscenium type stage measures 65' x 28', off the side of which are street level, load-in facilities. Electrical capabilities include: 110/220 VAC, three phase 600 AMPS, 200A per LEG. Single-phase 110/220 also available. There is also an in-house sound/public address system.
Designed by the famous Rapp & Rapp Company, the theater opened its doors in 1931. Construction costs at that time were an unbelievable 1.5 million dollars. Furnished and decorated in the art deco motif, the elegant theater is complemented by gold and silver leaf, gold-backed French mirrors and crushed velour. The timeless and historic theater is an ongoing phase of renovation and restoration.
Home to the Erie Philharmonic, Erie Civic Music Association, Lake Erie Ballet, the Erie BROADWAY Series, it also hosts a wide range of lectures and entertainment shows throughout the year.
