About Us

The Silver Spring Black Box Theatre is Montgomery County’s premier venue for creating a truly intimate connection between performers and their audiences. With seating for up to 156 guests, our space is perfectly designed for theatre, concerts, comedy, improv, dance, spoken word, and a wide variety of arts-based events. Whether you’re staging a one-night performance or a limited run, the Silver Spring Black Box offers the kind of energy, closeness, and authenticity that artists and audiences both treasure.

​

Performers will find the theatre both flexible and inspiring. The 25’ x 25’ playing area provides ample room for creative staging while maintaining the intimacy of a Black Box environment. Rentals include two dressing rooms, a backstage area with crossover, a welcoming lobby with concessions, and a spacious green room with comfortable seating. We also offer rehearsal, audition, classroom, and meeting spaces available separately to support your creative process from first read-through to final curtain.

Audiences love the Silver Spring Black Box for its accessibility and inviting atmosphere. Every seat feels close to the stage, allowing patrons to experience the energy of live performance in a uniquely personal way. As a Montgomery County facility, the theatre is fully ADA compliant, ensuring that all community members can fully enjoy the arts.
