Springer Stage at Georgetown Palace Theatre

Springer Stage at Georgetown Palace Theatre is a historic theatre housed in a former movie house built in 1925, with its façade redesigned in a distinctive Art Deco style in 1936. Today, the Springer Stage serves as the main historic stage of the Georgetown Palace Theatre, offering an intimate auditorium of approximately 290 seats that is well suited to musicals, plays, comedies and other live performances.

The compact auditorium keeps the audience close to the stage, creating a more immediate theatrical experience than larger performance venues. The main floor is equipped with hearing loop technology, while assisted listening devices are also available. Lobby concessions provide drinks, light snacks and other convenient refreshments during performances.

The theatre is located at 810 S Austin Ave, Georgetown, Texas, United States, in central Georgetown. Nearby options include street parking as well as the Austin Avenue Parking Garage at 6th Street and Austin Avenue and the Rock Street Parking Garage at 3rd Street and Rock Street; some parking is free depending on the location and time of day. From these parking areas, visitors can continue on foot to the theatre entrance on Austin Avenue. For broader information on getting around Georgetown, see the city guide further down the page.

Georgetown in Washington, D.C. blends historic charm with urban energy, making it a great base for fans of concerts, sports events, and nightlife. Elegant streets, a lively restaurant-and-bar scene, and a distinctive waterfront atmosphere create an experience that goes beyond the event itself. It’s an easy fit for a weekend escape, a spontaneous night out, or a planned visit to major arenas and stadiums across the capital region.

For getting in and around, most visitors rely on WMATA Metrobus and Metrorail, with convenient connections toward districts that host arenas and stadiums. While Georgetown doesn’t have a direct subway stop in its very center, nearby stations like Foggy Bottom–GWU or Rosslyn are a short ride away by bus, taxi, or rideshare, making onward travel simple. If you arrive by train, Union Station is the main rail hub, with straightforward links to the rest of the city. For flights, the closest option is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) as well as Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) are also popular choices.

If you have time before or after the event, a walk along the Potomac River and the Georgetown Waterfront is well worth it, with promenades and water views that set the neighborhood’s pace. For a calmer stroll with a historic feel, many people choose the C&O Canal and the quiet streets lined with classic architecture, while M Street and Wisconsin Avenue are perfect for coffee, dinner, or shopping. That way, you can pair your event tickets with an authentic city experience—without complicated logistics and with the sense that everything you want is close by.
