Colonial Theater

Located in downtown Pittsfield, Massachusetts the Colonial Theatre is a Gilded Age architectural gem brought back to life as a performing arts center in the “heart of the Berkshires”.

Kept safe behind the temporary wall and ceiling partitions of a retail store for more than 50 years, the ornately appointed and now fully restored Colonial emerged in August, 2006 as a cultural and economic development force in the Berkshires.

The Colonial is an appropriate symbol of the re-emergence of Pittsfield as the economic and cultural center of the Berkshires. A restored and active Colonial Theatre, together with Pittsfield’s other cultural attractions and businesses, is creating jobs, attracting and inspiring audiences, contributing to rising real estate values and adding vitality back to a city that has been recreating itself as a people-center from its earlier days as a manufacturing center.

We invite you to be a part of the on-going movement to maintain this magnificent part of our history and our future. Come tour this architectural icon of another age. Come and enjoy the contemporary entertainment that gives it new life.

The Colonial Theatre is a 501 (c) 3 Not-for-Profit organization that operates with a combination of earned and contributed income. The theater and lobby facilities are available for community activities.
