The Centre Theater at the Montgomery County Cultural Center, located in downtown Norristown, provides affordable, quality professional theater and arts education. By providing quality programs, we are bringing the arts to our community as well as to communities in the Greater Delaware Valley area.

The Centre Theater houses two local award winning companies. The Centre Theater, in collaboration with Iron Age Theatre, has been called "Norristown's Theatrical Treasure" presenting challenging, well-crafted, thoughtful theater that have been nominated for Barrymore awards for Terra Nova, The Elephant Man and last season's Molumby's Millions. Mark Cofta wrote that the Centre Theater and "Iron Age Theatre keep defying the odds, producing quality plays with loving care". The Centre Theater hosts WALLA FEST, which spotlights local musical talent and provides a chance for emerging artists to work in front of a paying audience. The Centre Theater's children's summer program has also received a nomination for a Barrymore Award. The Centre Theater provides a professional theatrical venue in Norristown for many groups including space for Theater Horizon. Theater Horizon recently won four Barrymore awards for their production of The Putnam Valley Spelling Bee staged at the Centre Theater.

The Montgomery County Cultural Center is a 501(c)(3) organization committed to bringing the arts to a broad audience, educating young people in an appreciation of the arts and the artistic spirit in themselves and revitalizing the Montgomery County region. Our 75 seat professional theatre space, The Centre Theater, produces a three show main stage season as well as smaller studio works. The theater is located on the 4th floor of our building, with elevator access.
