The Roberts Studio Theatre is a reconfigurable black box space with movable seats and seating risers. We have a number of approved seating configurations that comply with building code and egress policy. Please see the notes below on the possible configurations.
We have a Staging Concepts SC90 system. Not all configurations are possible with in-house equipment as we have created options that have supplementary gear over the years. Do not assume that riser relocation is possible without significant coordination with venue management. Not all riser configurations are possible at all times.
Configuration A
Configuration A
"Standard" or "Proscenium Style"
