Spruce Peak Arts brings touring performers and Vermont talent to an intimate stage at the base of Stowe Mountain Resort. The 420-seat theater is known for its excellent acoustics, and the warm timber beams overhead make it feel more like a mountain lodge than a concert hall. The lineup changes throughout the year, with concerts, circus performances, family shows, and touring productions, and the Homegrown in Vermont series puts a regular spotlight on artists from right here in the state. As a nonprofit, Spruce Peak Arts also brings arts education to local students and offers affordable tickets for area residents, so every ticket supports the community. Seven Days readers have named it the best performing arts venue outside Chittenden County.
Spruce Peak Arts is about five minutes from Topnotch, so you can enjoy a show without a long drive home on a winter night. Popular performances can sell out, so check the Spruce Peak Arts website for the current lineup and tickets. For a full night out, start with dinner at The Roost, then head up the road for the show.
