About John Chalberg Theatre At Central Lakes College
The John Chalberg Theatre is part of Central Lakes College’s two-venue performing arts complex in Brainerd, MN. With approximately 270 seats (some sources note around 250 for more intimate performances), Chalberg Theatre offers an intimate setting for shows, while the adjacent Dryden Theatre complements with its own programming. Reserved seating ensures you can pick your preferred view, and accessibility is available with about 33 seats in rows M and N accessible without stairs. We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan your visit, from parking and transit to nearby accommodations and dining options.
Located on the Brainerd campus at 501 West College Drive, Chalberg Theatre is a cornerstone of the community’s cultural calendar. Whether you’re catching a Brainerd Community Theatre production like Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors, a tribute performance by Angela Ingersoll Sings Judy Garland, or high-energy concerts such as Michael Cavanaugh – The Music of Billy Joel & Elton John, you’ll experience a welcoming, no-fuss ticketing process and a friendly local atmosphere.
Parking is available in the North Lot off College Drive with admission via Door #4 at the Brainerd campus. Public transit options include Brainerd & Crow Wing Public Transit, with a designated transit address at 501 Laurel Street and Dial-a-Ride services for flexible access. For visitors driving in, plan extra time during peak event periods. We recommend booking accommodations close to campus to minimize travel between venues, restaurants, and your hotel.
