Our Spaces

Atrium Lobby

An expansive open area, the Atrium Lobby is enclosed by a large bay window with pedestrian balcony providing beautiful natural light for daytime events. Minimal lighting and sound elements can be configured for dinners, cabaret style concerts, and wedding ceremonies.
Williams Theater

This 70’ x 70’ flexible black box theatre seats anywhere from 270 to 350 patrons in variable seating configurations depending on your event’s specific goals. The Williams The- atre can also be stripped down to a bare 4900 square foot sprung stage floor that can seat 250 guests ideal for a wed- ding reception. Overhead you’ll find a full fly house that can hang anything from lighting and sets to party decorations.
York Theater

The York Theatre is a 1600 square foot black box theatre space that can seat up to 100 in a flexible arrangement. This smaller, more intimate space, is often used for smaller receptions and theatre and dance rehearsals.
Shaw Theater

Shaw Theatre is a traditional proscenium theatre. Seating up to 535 guests, this space is ideal for dance concerts, theatrical productions, and lectures. If you’re looking to use the space non-traditionally you can host numerous events on the actual stage floor. The 2,400 square feet of stage floor lends itself to large dinner parties among other exciting possibilities.
