The Performance Garage has a professionally outfitted theater that is both welcoming and charming. The theater features exposed brick walls, a lofted ceiling, and a stage that is within arms reach of performers. The theater offers an intimate setting to view dance works, allowing for a more engaging encounter with the performers. You will feel like you are a part of the show! 

The Performance Garage hosts performances ranging from experimental works by emerging artists to notable repertoires by your favorite dance companies. We have been a venue for the Philadelphia Fringe Festival since 2009, and annually host groups participating in the city wide celebration.

​

​Thanks to a tremendously innovative relationship with the venerable Philadelphia Ballet (formerly Pennsylvania Ballet), the Performance Garage was able to serve as the Ballet’s rehearsal and filming home from January 2021 until the present. Consistent with all applicable regulations this partnership allowed both organizations to flourish, meet the aims of their respective missions, and keep art alive during the pandemic.
