BlackRock Center for the Arts has four attractive performance venues in which it presents artists of the highest quality in a variety of disciplines and genres. The flexibility and size of the venues frequently coincide with each performance to ensure the highest quality experience for patrons.

Mainstage

A 209-seat proscenium-style stage, the mainstage theater's many uses include: traditional stage plays, small music acts, folk artists, traditional and ethnic dances, lectures and meetings. The facility is equipped with a standard lighting plot to handle the most demanding performance. A selection of audio-visual equipment is also available; please contact the technical director for assistance.

Depending on the needs of the event (as determined by the facility technical director), a staff of stage professionals is available for events. Rental of the mainstage is by the hour; please visit the Web site's rentals information page or contact the BLACKROCK rental coordinator for further information about rentals.

Studio Theater

The Studio Theater is a "black box" multi-purpose performance space. The floor is specifically designed for ballet, modern and jazz dance. Ballet barres and mirrors on the room walls facilitate its use as a classroom and dance presentation space. The space also hosts BlackRock's Third Thursday Coffeehouse series, and is popular as a large meeting and banquet room for birthday parties, bat and bar mitzvahs, and wedding receptions.

The Studio Theater has a standard lighting plot designed around dance presentations, but is very adaptable to other uses. A selection of audio-visual equipment is also available; please contact the technical director for assistance. A staff of stage professionals is also available for events, depending on the needs of the event as determined by the facility technical director.
