A 1907 stage, wired for tonight.

Columns, sconces and a proscenium that has stood for more than a century, now lit and mixed through a modern rig built for touring productions. About 900 seats, and none of them far from the stage.

Since 1907

A Wadsworth Landmark, Reimagined

The auditorium at the heart of Wadsworth's old Central School hosted band concerts, class plays and town meetings for over a century. In 2025 the Wadsworth Square Foundation restored it, re-equipped it and gave it a new name: Laura Celestia Spelman Rockefeller's, a daughter of Main Street.
