Wait Chapel

Wait Chapel was designed as a worship space and multi-use venue. It offers an array of stage settings, lighting and audio equipment suited for a wide variety of productions, including concerts (symphonic, choral, large ensembles), town hall forums, and debates. Seating is 2200. As the stage is not a proscenium, and is enlarged with stage extensions, dance and theatrical productions are extremely difficult to present. Wing space and fly space do not exist. Dressing rooms are limited. This venue has a long and illustrious history of presenting significant events.
