The Westbury Theatre functions as a multiform space, in which, staging and seating configurations can be altered to accommodate a variety of events including wedding receptions, trade shows, theatre productions, and music concerts.

Our house lighting plot utilizes theatrical lighting equipment to create stage lighting for performances and decorative settings for receptions with little labour requirements. Changes to the lighting plot increase the labour demand and cost to the client. It is recommended for Theatre companies using show specific lighting to meet with our Technical Director to determine labour requirements and cost.

Depending on the complexity of the event, as determined at the production meeting, additional equipment and personnel maybe required and billed to you as an additional cost.

Rates for weekly rentals include the same services as the single day rentals EXCEPT the technical and Front of House staff required while you are in the Theatre are NOT included. Calls for our staff will be determined at a production meeting prior to your event where a cost estimate will be provided to you.
