Description
The venue stages unconventional productions across starkly contrasting environments. In the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, expansive installations invite visitors to move around, sit, or linger as delicate sounds resonate through the cavernous volume. Nearby, restored period spaces like the Board of Officers Room offer intimate, ornate charm for smaller performances, even when chamber-music acoustics are less polished.
