A premiere performance or conference venue, the Sobey Family Theatre hosts performing artists and speakers, including those from the Charlottetown Festival, Live @ the Centre and the Symons Medal Presentation and Lecture. If it is a theatrical dining experience you seek, ask about hosting a banquet on the main stage – an experience your delegates will never forget. Located at 130 Queen Street East (corner of Queen and Grafton), the Sobey Family Theatre seats 1,100 on two levels, with two center aisles and a balcony. There is a safety bar on the first row of the balcony that may obstruct some patrons’ view. Please see Accessibility section below for more details.
