*Note: Many people want to use our main stage as part of their event, but there is not enough room between the screen, which is permanently fixed, and the front of the main stage. In this case, we add a Thrust Stage, which is 16 X 20 feet. There is an additional charge of $200.00 to put up this stage, and the audience size is reduced to 360 seats.
WEDDINGS - SATURDAY & SUNDAY
The Heights is popular for weddings with its velvet grand drape, hanging chandeliers and classic atmosphere. The rental for the auditorium is a flat $500.00 on Saturday and Sunday between the hours of 11:00AM - 3:30 PM. This is a basic hall rental. Please see additional expenses above and inquire for catering details and extra charges.
GENERAL POLICIES
We have 70mm and 35mm changeover projection capabilities as well as 16mm projection and video projection; please refer to our equipment page for more details. No outside electronics or sound systems may be hooked up to our house sound system without prior approval.

Unless agreed upon before hand, it is the responsibility of the renter to staff and operate his or her own box office ticket sales and bank. We staff and keep all proceeds from the concession stand.

A licensed and mutually agreed upon caterer, if arranged beforehand, may bring in food. There are strict parameters that need to be followed if you wish to serve alcoholic drinks. You must inquire before hand, otherwise alcohol or other intoxicants are not allowed on Heights property at any time.

If a rental date is decided upon, a contract will be drawn up between the Heights and the Rental party covering all costs and details of the event. At that time a down payment will be required to hold the date open. If a cancellation of a date is received within 45 days of the scheduled event, the down payment will be refunded. If the cancellation occurs after 45 days of the event the down payment becomes non refundable.

While this is your event and we want to help you make it as successful as possible, we will need to know the general nature of your event beforehand. We reserve the right to deny rental to anyone whose event we feel would reflect badly on the Theatre or would have a problem with legal authorities.

For more information call Tom Letness, Heights Theatre Owner, at 763-789-4992 between 3 PM and 9 PM daily.
