About
-
Our venue, a desanctified church simply named THE CHURCH, lends itself beautifully to the old vaudevillian art forms as well as things, you would see in a cabaret setting such as smaller bands, comedy, puppet theatre, certain disciplines from amongst the circus arts and dance. In fact, the layout of the venue with a small elevated stage and a dance floor on the same level as the audience seating as well as the seating layout in the half round is very much modeled after a cabaret venue. Except that our seats are church pews.
Downstairs, below the performance space, we have three bedrooms which house six people easily, a bathroom, a common room with a mini cabaret stage (sometimes used as a lounge) and a kitchenette (with stove, sink, fridge and work surface).
The primary idea behind producing art at THE CHURCH is for artists to spend one or more weeks in residency working on their pieces and then present it to the local audience. We are interested in granting space and technical support to artists who also would like to share their work with an audience perhaps for the first time.
