About Colonial Theatre - Keene

The Colonial Theatre in Keene, part of the Colonial Performing Arts Center (with the adjacent SHOWROOM behind the main building at 20 Commercial Street), offers a welcoming, community-focused venue experience with a rich history of live performances, broadcasts, and touring acts. The complex seats roughly 900 across the main theatre (Orchestra, Mezzanine, and Balcony) and accommodates up to 140 seated or 300 standing in the SHOWROOM. Since its grand reopening in 2022, the venue has continued to host a diverse lineup, including MET: Live in HD broadcasts and beloved productions like Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The venue complex was rebranded in 2025 as the Colonial Performing Arts Center, reflecting its two-venue identity and ongoing renovation updates.
