Host Your Event at Theatre Cedar Rapids
If you're interested in hosting an event at TCR, we'd love to explore the possibilities with you.
Linge Lounge
Our newly refreshed Linge Lounge blends historic charm with contemporary style, offering an inviting setting for intimate events and gatherings.
Situated at street level, the lounge is framed by a dramatic wall of full-length windows that flood the space with natural light and showcase views of downtown Cedar Rapids.

The space is ideal for:
- Cocktail receptions
- Small celebrations
- Pre-event gatherings
- Business meetings or presentations
- Donor or networking events
Maximum Capacity:Â 69 guests
With its distinctive architectural character and proximity to TCR's performance spaces, the Linge Lounge offers a unique environment for memorable events in downtown Cedar Rapids.
