Featured Venue
Waxlax Center for the Performing Arts
The Waxlax Center for the Performing Arts is an 808-seat theater divided into five seating divisions; each division includes an orchestra and mezzanine section. Mezzanine seating requires stair access.
The main curtain fully open has a 70-foot proscenium opening and a depth of over 45 feet with three pairs of fully-adjustable black curtained legs, back curtain, white cyclorama and a mid-stage traveler. The stage is adjustable to create the perfect setting for any event. Blue LED aisle lighting provides additional comfort and security.
Rental applications for The Waxlax Center for the Performing Arts may be submitted up to one year in advance of the first performance date. The Waxlax Center for the Performing Arts is an educational facility used daily by students and faculty; consequently, weekdays or excessive time in the facility will seldom be provided for preparation work, set construction or rehearsals. If additional time is approved by school administration, charges will apply.

The Waxlax Center provides 808 audience members with comfortable, unobstructed viewing of the stage. The naturally rich and precise acoustics can be augmented by a superior sound system that includes front and rear fill speakers with additional right and left sub-woofers. A front-of-house catwalk is equipped with 48 installed DMX-capable, twist-lock dimmers. The Technical Booth operates from a distance of 60-feet from the lip of the stage.

The Waxlax Stage floor is a sprung dance floor; both the varnished blonde maple thrust (11 x 70) and the black ¾ plywood floor (plaster line to rear wall) assure safety for professional dance troupes.

A 19ft high x 24ft wide motorized projection screen is permanently installed at the main curtain line where it can be discreetly hidden when not in use. From the technical booth, a Christie D16HD-HS projector delivers a clear picture with equalized adjustable sound. Presenters have the ability to control their own projections from the floor from their computer via HDMI or USB-C.

The Waxlax Center is equipped with an open booth where a sound engineer can mix on a Yamaha CL-5 72-Channel Digital Mixing Console. Lighting is controlled by an ETC Ion XE 20. On either side of the center room are two separate booths equipped with an Altman AFS-700 Follow Spot. Additionally, 2 Panasonic AW-HE130 Cameras with recording capabilities can provide a live stage television feed to the lobby and backstage dressing rooms and crossover. Up to 8 people can communicate with each other via our Eartec Ultralite Intercom Headset system.

We look forward to hosting your next event in this space!

The Waxlax Technical shop and ground-floor load-in are located to the rear of stage left. The technical shop is fully equipped (SawStop table saw, bandsaw, Dewalt Power tools, air compressor, etc) and can be available for renters on request.

The Waxlax Center is equipped with 2 large chorus dressing areas (26.5ft x 16ft) with two sinks, a single toilet, and a drinking fountain in each.
