The facility’s mainstage theatre is an intimate drama space with 397 seats distributed among three levels. The room’s intimacy and verticality foster dynamic performances and a fully equipped stagehouse, motorized flying, forestage extension, orchestra pit, and state-of-the-art AV and lighting system provide incredible theatrical flexibility. The arts center’s second performance space, a 150-seat studio theatre, features a balcony, technical ledge, robust rigging systems, and an adjustable stage, capable of endstage, thrust, or arena configurations.
