About Darress Theatre

The Darress Theatre in Boonton, New Jersey, is a historic venue with deep roots in the community. Opened in 1919 as a vaudeville and movie house, it has served as a cultural anchor for Boonton and the surrounding Morris County area. Today, the town-owned project aims to reestablish the space as a regional performing arts center with a target capacity of approximately 500 seats, preserving the venue’s reverse-entry auditorium concept. As you plan a visit, we’ve got practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining to help you secure your seats with ease.

Note: There is currently no public event calendar published for ongoing performances during the renovation phases. We recommend checking the official Darress Theatre sources for reopening announcements and updated seating information once Phase II completes. In the meantime, explore nearby hotels and restaurants and keep an eye on venue updates for upcoming performances and community programs such as the Magic on Main series and other local events that reflect Boonton’s history and spirit.
