THEATER & BASEMENT STUDIO
We have two spaces, a 40-seat theater and a basement studio. The theater stage area is a spacious 30' wide x 22' deep and with a wood floor suitable for dance. The venue is ideal for smaller projects in theater, music, dance, film, puppetry and multi-media, and is also an excellent rehearsal space. Please note that the ceiling is only 10' high, and the lighting grid is 6" lower. The basement studio, which is accessible by stairs, is about 30' x 20', has a carpeted floor and is best suited for rehearsals and meetings. There are two accessible bathrooms on the main floor and a kitchenette in the basement. There is free parking on both sides of Hamline Ave. right in front of the building. Restaurants and coffee shops are nearby.
