The Parish Hall is also available and seats 75. Suggested contributions are $15 per hour for rehearsals/lessons, $150 for free performances, $300 for for-profit performances.

Suggested contributions are $50 for a half-day meeting or $100 for 5 – 8 hours. Monthly rates for weekly meetings range from $20 – $40 per hour.
