Specs

SVA Theatre events are invited to take full advantage of the resources below to help you plan a successful event.

Virtual Tour

We encourage you to view our virtual tour if you’re unable to visit SVA Theatre in person, or if your team or vendors wish to see a detailed overview of our spaces.  On the tour page, you can click through each area using the arrows, or by using the menu at the bottom left.  If you’d like to schedule an in-person walkthrough, please contact [email protected].

Auditorium Seating Charts & Technical Specs

Click below to download seating charts and technical specifications for both of our auditoriums. Contact [email protected] with any technical questions, and [email protected] with any seating questions.

Catering Guidelines

Serving food or drinks? You’re welcome to do so if use of the lobby is included in your rental agreement. However, we have some important rules and procedures you must follow. For example, we do NOT allow sternos or cooking on premises, and you must apply for a special permit if you’re serving alcohol. Click here to review our detailed catering guidelines, and be sure to share this document with your caterer.  A list of caterers that have worked in our venue can be found here.

Exterior Tent Layouts

Click below to download two samples of sidewalk tent layouts, which we hope you’ll find useful while planning exterior red carpets / step-and-repeats. Contact [email protected] with questions.

Furniture (Lobby & Stage)

Whether for check-in, a reception, or a panel discussion, we can generally accommodate most basic furniture needs for a typical event. Click here for an illustrated list of available furniture options, and contact [email protected] with questions.

Lobby Poster Light Boxes (Prints Required)

Our back-lit poster light boxes line and illuminate the hallway leading from the lobby to the auditoriums. Click here for a downloadable spec sheet to share with your designer and printing vendor, and contact [email protected] with questions.

Lobby & Vestibule Digital Screens

Our digital screens in the lobby and vestibule can display any visuals that can be played from a laptop, e.g. continuous loop videos, slideshow presentations, or static images (such as a logo). Click here to download the design specs for our digital screens, and contact [email protected] with questions.

Marquee (Digital)

Our unique exterior digital marquee can proudly announce your event title during your rental period. SVA Theatre will create a simple text-based message for you, or you can design your own announcement using video-editing software such as Adobe AfterEffects. Either way, we will need your marquee text or design at least one week prior to the event. Please contact [email protected] for a downloadable ZIP file containing marquee specs and Adobe AE templates.

Podium Design (Prints Required)

If you are looking for more visual impact inside the auditorium, consider designing signage to fit on our SVA Theatre podiums. Our team will be responsible for attaching and removing the sign, but it has to be the correct size and format.
