JOHNSON HALL PERFORMING ARTS CENTER is a 501 (c) (3) Tax-Exempt, nonprofit organization presenting a wide range of programs in historic Johnson Hall Opera House in downtown Gardiner, Maine. The renovated first floor performance space seats 110 and is flexible for many purposes-from plays and concerts to classes, workshops, arts camps, and meetings. We produce events and programs, and also rent the hall to other groups for events and private parties. Johnson Hall collaborates on arts programs in the schools. Johnson Hall Performing Arts Center welcomes you to explore our web site, to learn more about our building and our programs.


Our vision for the future:
A 400-seat restored theater
on the third floor of Johnson Hall!

The Johnson Hall Renovation Partnership is an exciting collaborative effort of Johnson Hall, Gardiner Board of Trade, Gardiner Main Street, and the City of Gardiner to rehabilitate our historic 1864 building.
