About Mcallaster Theatre

McAllaster Theatre, also referred to as McAllaster Auditorium or McAllaster Hall, is the public auditorium on the campus of Manchester Central High School. Located at 207 Lowell Street in downtown Manchester, this historic venue hosts student productions and community events in a classic school auditorium setting with a balcony and fixed seating. While a formal public seating chart isn’t published, the space historically accommodates up to 1,500 attendees, reflecting its origins in the 1922 Practical Arts auditorium. We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your visit, including parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options to make your trip easy and stress-free.

For performers and organizers, McAllaster Theatre provides an intimate, traditional venue within CHS scenes and events such as CHS Maskers productions. If you’re visiting Manchester for a show like Guys and Dolls in 2025, consider secure seating nearby and convenient lodging just steps from downtown. Parking has expanded to a 145-slot on-campus garage from renovations in the mid-2000s, and transit is served by the Manchester Transit Authority (MTA). When booking, verify accessibility needs and seating availability, and consider nearby hotels to simplify rehearsals, performances, and post-show plans. We’ve highlighted trusted local hotels and restaurants to help you secure a comfortable stay and great pre- or post-show experiences.
