Technical Specs
General: The Performance Hall is a recently renovated space on the 2nd floor of the former Hudson City Hall. The house is a rectangular space with a flat floor, and has a rear balcony with a technical booth. The house has large operable double hung windows on either side and at the rear of the balcony; windows have motorized opaque shades but are not full blackout shades.
