Inviting and intimate. That’s the best way to describe the feeling that greets guests of the Goddard Center. This black box, flexible seating theater is the perfect venue for small performances or private parties.
The Center features a diamond-shaped room with the technical booth at house center, audience entrances at stage right and stage left, and a small proscenium stage built into the upstage center point. The six portable telescopic seating sections can seat a total of 158 people.
Because of the wide variety of ways to configure the Goddard’s seating arrangements, this venue is one of the most versatile venues in our area, perfect for performances, networking, or hosting your next seminar or small conference.
Performer facilities
The theater has two chorus-sized dressing rooms, each with shower facilities, make-up counters, mirrors and lights. The theater does not have a costume shop or green room.
