About this space

ACT is a multipurpose black box theater/performance space that seats 100-150 people depending on need.

We feature a full range of RGB lighting units, intelligent lighting, fog machines, bubble machines, snow machines, strobe, microphones, Surround Sound, and more. The space is a working theater so all Friday and Saturday nights are booked from 6:00 - until 11 PM. However, Sundays and Weekdays are available for bookings. We have pianos, mic stands, music stands, and baffling for recitals and prep spaces/dressing rooms/meeting spaces for actors and performers.

All bookings include the use of the lobby and dressing room. We have ample parking around the building and handicap accessibility at the back entrances. ACT can handle your ticketing & promotional needs for additional fees. If you wish to use the stage equipment (lighting/sound) a tech person will be required which is NOT included in your booking. We will help you secure outside staffing. All performances must meet with a technical agent prior to your event to go over show order, show needs, comparability with the space, load in, and load out. Please remember to book enough time to load your event in and out of the space.

ACT has onsite concessions, you are welcome to provide outside catering, but there is no kitchen facility for prep. If bookings provide their promotional information, we will link through to their website free of charge. Tables and chairs are available on-site for rental.
