his season's Mainstage features a fresh and compelling lineup of shows — including three Lehigh Valley premieres and the Mainstage debut of our new black box performance space, Theatre514! The new space perfectly complements our grand, historic 19th Street Theatre home, and we look forward to bringing Civic's professional-quality Mainstage production values to a whole new venue. Look for the symbols below to tell you where each event will take place. The 500-seat, art deco 19th Street Theatre has been Civic's home venue for nearly 50 years. Its Broadway-style proscenium stage is perfect for large musicals and ensemble plays. The new 100-seat black box theatre, opened last season, is ideal for intimate performances, such as cabarets, character dramas, and children's theatre.
