The open and flexible layout allows for various configurations, from traditional seating to more immersive setups, catering to the needs of different productions. The venue hosts a variety of local theatrical companies, including Point2 productions and Elgin Theatre Company, showcasing the talents of young actors and actresses. In 2023, they produced the play "Prodigal Son." Visitors can also explore the space during the annual Open Elgin architectural tour, enjoying the stunning views of the city from the 8th-floor location.

Overall, Elgin Art Showcase offers a captivating and authentic theatrical experience, blending the past and present in a charming and adaptable setting.
