The Bruns Amphitheater

If you are looking for a venue for your group’s music, dance, or theater performances, the Bruns Amphitheater is a unique alternative to traditional theater space.

While we spend much of the summer buzzing with Mainstage Performances, we have several “dark” weeks from May through October when the Bruns is available for rentals. Performance rentals in the off season (late October through April) must be reserved at least 3 months in advance to ensure the space is prepared.

The Plaza

Our Plaza is accessible, with a large paved area and permanent bathrooms.

Non-performance

Rent the amphitheater for a presentation or ceremony, such as a wedding or graduation.

The North Star Grove

Just need a gorgeous spot outside? You can rent our biggest grove, which features a giant redwood sculpture called the North Star.

Green Room

Rent a bright space with a gorgeous view for your next board meeting, rehearsal, or corporate training! With a kitchenette, dressing rooms, bathrooms, and lots of tables a chairs for breakout space.

The Grounds

Get access to all three of our Groves, the plaza, and our state-of-the-art-greenroom, without booking the theater.

Production Rental

Present your production at the Bruns, keeping our current set and lighting intact. Take advantage of our full lobby, restrooms, groves, parking lot, and more!

for performances:

Rent the Bruns for your next show! Includes the rental of the entire Bruns Amphitheater and grounds with the current mainstage show’s set and lighting intact. If you need help running your performance, we can provide stage managers, crew, and house staff.

For non-performance events:

No need to be a performer to enjoy being the star on the Bruns stage. Get married on stage, host a unique dinner party, or even host an awards or honors ceremony.
