Seating
Seating is flexible with 130 grey interlocking straight-backed plastic chairs. Sight lines are enhanced with a seating platform system which consists of 32 8’ x 3’ folding platforms of various heights from 8” to 40” and can be set up in various configurations.
Lobby (KE-120)
This is a shared space that also serves as an entrance to Kendall Hall. It can be configured for small receptions, and is often used as an organizational and staging area for performers before they go on to the Mainstage. This area may not be used for warm up or rehearsal as the floor is constructed with poured concrete covered with tile, is easily scuffed and scratched, and offers no protection for performers should they fall.
Control Booth (KE-228)
The booth is in the North West corner of the theatre, located just below the grid. Lighting, sound and communication controls are located there and it is accessed from the 2nd floor of Kendall Hall.
Loading Access
The loading dock is 3'-11" off of the ground. Stage access is through the scene shop through doors that are 9'-10" high by 7'-8" wide. There is a tight turn onto the stage. A 3'-0" wide aluminum ramp is available for loading off trucks that are up to 18” higher or lower than the dock. Access to the loading dock requires a sidewalk permit from Campus Police and is made via the walkway between Armstrong Hall and the Science Complex on the west side of campus.
