Built in 1890 as the sanctuary to the former Central Presbyterian Church, the Performance Hall at Hochstein was fully renovated in 1999 to include state-of-the-art acoustics, theatre seating, stage and house lighting, Crest Audio System and amenities for the hearing impaired.

While retaining the elegant stained glass windows, sweeping balcony and intimate atmosphere (all of the 857 seats, arranged “in the round” are within 50 feet of the stage), the award-winning Hall now features a large maple stage, clear sightlines, and three entrances, two of which are equipped with foyer ticket booths. Restroom facilities are located both on the main floor and lower level.
