Theater

Richard Hugo House has a black box theater that seats 86 with additional folding chairs available to seat up to 125. The theater has a small PA and programmable light console with a variety of lighting fixtures.

The theater is available for rental by application. Richard Hugo House seeks theater companies whose mission is in harmony with our own and who can show they have an experienced technical staff.

The rental rates are $200/day for any technical or nonperformance rehearsals and $300 for performances, not including technical staff. Rental fees are due in advance of a production. First time renters will be charged a refundable cleaning deposit. Sunday rentals will require additional fees to staff our front desk. The theater will primarily be open for rentals on weekends. Multiple performances on the same date my incur additional charges.

Rental priority will be given to productions of three weeks or longer. Shorter bookings may become available.

Hugo House is closed on Sundays. Rentals scheduled on Sundays, on holidays, or after 11 p.m. will be charged an additional $15/hr security fee to cover the cost of staff.

Hugo House also has a café on the first floor adjacent to the Cabaret that can be opened for events in the Cabaret or theater. The café offers coffee, tea, wine, beer, cocktails, soft drinks and snacks. If an event is occurring in the Cabaret/café, the theater is not available for rent.
