About Dance & Theatre

Our performance space isn't a sterile hall. It’s an intimate stage—16x12ft—designed so the audience feels every beat of the footwork and every nuance of the dialogue. Whether you are planning a classical dance recital or a new theatre production, you get a dedicated sound engineer and lighting setup, meaning you don't have to scramble for technical basics on show day.
