Where past Meets Present!

From its opening in February 1905, as the Elks Opera House, the Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center has been witness to the evolution of our unique town of Prescott, Arizona. Just ask Bill, our majestic Elk who stands atop the iconic building, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. However, what lies within that beautiful exterior is even more exciting!
The Elks Theatre offers wonderful entertainment from movie nights to local and national musicians to comedy acts and so much more. The second story of the Performing Arts Center offers amazing spaces available for public use via hourly rentals. There are two dance studios — both include floor-to-ceiling mirrors, a sound system and specialized dance floors.
One studio floor is a floating hickory while the other is the only professionally installed sprung Marley floor in the area.
We are also very proud of our state-ofthe-art audio-recording and mixing studio and sound-proof practice rooms. With our contracted sound engineer, owner of Sky City Audio Justin Ames’ support, this is the place to record a demo, perfect that voice-over or create an audition tape.
The third floor of the Performing Arts Center is home to our Crystal Hall and Sundance Room — popular venues for live, intimate performances such as concerts, comedy shows, murder-mystery dinner theater, book signings and more! These venues are also available as rentals for seminars, fashion shows, weddings, birthday parties, bridal showers, fund-raisers and anything else you can think of! We have a full kitchen available for use, as well as a wonderful integrated sound-system. We can accommodate a range of floor plans and up to 200 guests!
The Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center is dedicated to enhancing and supporting the performing arts community in Prescott and the surrounding area. We are extremely grateful to be living and working in this community and want to thank the caring and engaging patrons of the Quad Cities area.
Without their help we would not be able to continue to support our outreach programs. A portion of every dollar spent at the Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center benefits our local community. Over the years, the Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center has been proud to provide scholarships, musical instruments and other support for local musicians, dancers and theatrical performers.
If you would like more information or to tour any of the spaces in the Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center, please contact us at info@etpac. org. On behalf of the entire team here at the Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center, we thank you for your continued support.
Come for a movie, a concert, a night of improv comedy, a stage production, a party, a class — any event at the Elks is bound to be a great time!
