RoadHouse Theatre

It's all at the Roadhouse

About Me


Handicap accessible, since 1988 The Roadhouse Theatre for Contemporary Art has produced professional-level theatre that challenges audiences, expands the intellect, and provokes the senses. Located in the heart of downtown Erie in a former church, the 245 seat venue boasts intriguing decor, fabulous art works by local artists and a spacious coffeehouse where local musicians, actors, magicians and other artists perform in a cabaret setting.

"It’s the age of Aquarius"

The Roadhouse is still going strong into the millennium. With the determination of the McClellands, staff, and the many volunteers, The Roadhouse Theatre will continue bringing contemporary art to the people of Erie as long as the seed of change stays with us.

All Artwork showcased at the theater is for sale please stop by the box office and request information.
