[Image descriptions: A series of color images show a large room with a black masonite floor and gray curtains draped along one wall. In some of the images, in front of the gray curtain, four rows of black plastic chairs are set up on risers. In other images, the chairs are shown set up along an adjacent wall, to communicate the flexible set-up options. The walls are off-white, and there is a small loft with tech equipment in one corner. There are theatrical lights set up on a grid hanging from the ceiling, and small lights set up on the perimeter of the floor. Space photos by Jazzy Photo and Sean Rosado]

Accessibility

Outside Base

The Factory has a ramped entrance located at the north end of the building, through the orange door. The building has limited outside lighting and can be difficult to navigate and locate when it’s dark out.

Inside Base

Base is accessible by ramp through our front doors. Please note that Base is not a scent-free space and our tech booth is only accessible by a steep ladder. Base has one single stall restroom that is wheelchair accessible and a small kitchen area with a fridge, microwave, oven and stove. The Factory has two gender neutral multi-stall restrooms and two single stall restrooms that are wheelchair accessible.

Because we share a building with other studios, there are often industrial noises throughout the building and heavy machinery operated such as forklifts.

Please note that Base does not have air conditioning.
