The following priorities have been set for granting non-exclusive use of the Theater:

• Maine State Ballet productions
• Performing arts organizations for children and the local community
• Other non-profit organizations
• Commercial groups

Due to limited seating and the Marley dance flooring on the stage area which can not be removed, the Maine State Ballet Theater does not rent to theater groups with sets which need to be anchored to the floor, nor to dance performances which involve clogging. Maine State Ballet reserves the right to reject rental applicants with productions or events inconsistent with our mission.

Individuals or organizations interested in renting the Maine State Ballet Theater are asked to contact Theater Production Manager Fred Bernier at fredmsb@maine.rr.com for availability and pricing information. Upon agreement of dates and times for rental, a rental agreement will be issued for signature by both parties.
