Versatile Space with Classic Design For Performances, Workshops, Rehearsals, or Meetings in Downtown San Pedro

This ground level space was built in the 1930's and is attractive thanks to art deco tiling and other touches. Inside is more modern, but visually interesting thanks to aged brick walls, a curved wooden ceiling with open beams, and a changing display of contemporary and cultural art. The floor is level throughout and wheelchair-accessible. The front of the room is bright and welcoming when the curtains are open, and a black box theater when they are drawn. It is equipped with two sets of lights - one that can be customer-controlled and can light the space evenly or focus on the stage area, another set controlled by our tech crew. The space also is flexible in terms of sound, with a customer-controlled four-channel system available by arrangement, or a sixteen channel system that can be controlled by our experienced sound crew. When controlled by our crew, the sound quality is high enough to record videos and CD-quality albums. A baby grand piano in excellent tune is available for use, and can be pushed into the corner when not needed. The sound crew rates are based on duration of event and services provided. If you will be using our sound crew, please check before booking, because we need to make sure there are no schedule conflicts. Our space has a main room that seats 49, a kitchenette area with bar and small refrigerator, a prep room/dressing room with a full size refrigerator, and an ADA compliant rest room. Events with food service are welcome, but if food is served there is a $75 cleaning deposit that will be refunded if the space is left clean. We have several tables that may be used for food service and also for art workshops and other purposes. Any art events that have paint, pastels, or ink will require a cleaning deposit - we recommend that you bring plastic dropcloths to avoid damage. Our location is five minutes from the south end of the 110 Harbor Freeway so is convenient for drivers, and has excellent transit access - the Silver Line express bus from Downtown LA stops only a block away. It is short walking distance from restaurants serving Mexican, Italian, Japanese, Thai, and other cuisines. We have relationships with a valet parking company and several caterers, so can assist with arranging all elements of the guest experience.
