The hosts were very accommodating and allowed us to use in-house furniture to set-up for our panel discussion with theater style seating. Our team booked enough prep time to come in and make the adjustments we needed in the space to make it work for...

Bright, Airy SOMA Space for Breakout or Popup
This is a beautiful space. The location was perfect for our needs. It is a bit small - we had theater seating for 60 and it was tight. And the AV facilities are very basic. However, it was a great venue for our event. Madeline, venue contact, was wonderful to work...

hosted a cabaret-style musical show at the larger of the two Shelton Theaters. I’m glad that Matt Shelton suggested I stop in the week before, as I realized what I was working with. I really suggest visiting the space if you have particular sound specifications, as they rely...

owner, Matt, was very accommodating and responsive to inquiries. Our party was on a quiet Tuesday night so Matt opened up one of the theaters for us as well. The location (one block from Union Square) was very convenient for our guests and the theater's charm was well worth...

The location is great to draw people to the room. The lounge adjacent to the theater is a great place to let people chat, eat, and drink prior to a show and at intermission. I highly recommend checking out the Variety...

Downtown Rehearsal / Event / Workshop Space
The space was great for a theater-style setup and Ashley & the team were very helpful. It is tough to find like others said because of the maze up the stairs - and checking in at the security desk can be a blocking point - but the room itself worked well...

Unique Presentation Auditorium with Full A/V
group of maybe 35 people. We used the front bar/restaurant area for the first hour to eat/drink and then moved into the attached theater. Everything from planning (figuring out the menu, checking out the space) to setting things up when we got there felt seamless - they've obviously done this...

Downtown black box theater
This is by far the best Peerspace space I've ever booked. The theater is lovely, fun, comfortable and super-flexible. It's a fantastic alternative to the usual board room-style rental, and I especially love that the rental fees go to support the theater. As a bonus, it...
