The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary A historic gathering place where art, community, and creativity meet. Please contact us if you'd like to bring an artist / performance / event to The Sanctuary.

A Safe Place for Original Art

The Sanctuary is an 1890's Gothic Revival church located in the 5-points / Cottage Hill area of Downtown Montgomery managed by the Jubilee Community Center. If you are looking for unique cultural experiences, or looking to create some of your own, The Sanctuary may be your community asset! All proceeds go directly towards ensuring that this Community Amenity stays open and available to the public. We also rent the space for private parties, meetings, community organizing, art / craft workshops, spiritual gatherings, receptions, and any other communal event you can imagine.

🚨⏰ Reminder before the holiday weekend scrambles all of our brains!!!
Improv is back again at the Playhouse next weekend! So mark your calendars and get ready to laugh! 📅 🤣

Here's the breakdown --

We have TWO improv shows coming up on Saturday, September 12th.
Our very own Yes! And...? Improv troupe will kick things off with a 7p offering, which will be a family-friendly affair. Come see the silly games and quick wits of our troupe members as they try to incorporate the audience's suggestions into the variety of kooky scenarios they have generated.

There will take a short break after the first show to let the gang rest and recover, and then we'll come back for more fun at 8:30p.

The second show is going to be geared towards adults, and may have a bit more bold and b***y language (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!). Be prepared for a little bit of anything and everything as the troupe takes their improv to the weirdest and wildest places they can imagine.

Tell your friends and neighbors, because Sharing is Caring!

It's $15 to get in the door. Separate shows means separate admission, so no confusing yourselves that this is a 2-for-1. But, if you want to see both, we will offer a discount for the second show because we love you guys!
