Schedule an Appointment
If you are interested in renting the theater, please complete the inquiry form to schedule an appointment (please no unscheduled walk-ups).
For the majority of the year, the Wilma is engaged in rehearsals and performances for its own productions. We cannot disrupt our own programming to accommodate an outside event. It may be that the date(s) you desire are available for rental, but the set for one of our plays is onstage at the time. If so, you can decide if you require a bare stage, or can conduct your event with our set as a backdrop.
