Isaac Studio Theatre
Nestled just across the hall from the Jewell Mainstage Theatre, the Isaac Studio Theatre is Taproot’s creative laboratory—a flexible black box space for new works, improv performances, and special events. With reconfigurable seating for up to 120, it offers an up-close experience that’s full of energy and surprise. From emerging voices to community favorites like A Charlie Brown Christmas, the Isaac Studio is where bold ideas take root and grow.

Name:
Named after the Old Testament Patriarch Isaac, whose life was full of tears, laughter, and hope, the Isaac Studio Theatre name is great reminder of what great theatre is all about: emotion. The Isaac Studio Theatre was named by Taproot Co-Founders Scott & Pam Nolte.
History:
This black box style theatre was built in 2013 after a devastating series of arsons burned down the existing Taproot-owned Eleanor Roosevelt Building. In 2014, Taproot’s Isaac Studio Theatre began hosting again.
