    I have conducted two youth culinary camps at the Auburn Public Theater Owasco Room staging kitchen. The kitchen is an open space equipped with ample stainless steel tables, a three-bay sink, and a single-door reach-in refrigerator. It provides easy access to the dining room, clean and adequate lighting.

  • The Owasco Room is THE BEST venue

    My company rented the Owasco Room at the Auburn Public Theater for our annual holiday party for family, friends, colleagues, and clients. It was the perfect venue for our event that hosted 100 guests. The venue is spacious and beautifully designed. It is flexibile allowing for setup and ambience to meet any need. The Auburn Public Theater/Cafe 108 team ensured the food and beverages were to perfection. We already booked the space for our 2026 party. We are excited to be back in the Owasco Room this year. I encourage anyone looking for a large event venue to consider the Owasco Room. You won't be disappointed.
