A VENUE FOR YOU.
GALA's stage is available for rental for performances (theater, dance, music), fundraisers, conferences, graduations, corporate events, parties, and more.
Set on top of the former Tivoli Theatre's balcony, the house design uses the original balcony's
stepped concrete for its seating. Added “shoulders” give the house a more intimate scale.
With the stage under a historic and recently restored dome, and a renovated lobby, the vibrant design echoes the vitality of the theater company and the Latino creative spirit.
