Kenyon Hall is located at 7904 35th Ave SW in West Seattle between the High Point and Roxhill neighborhoods. The Hall is accessible via a main entrance on 35th Avenue or through an ADA-accessible loading entrance from the alley, accessed via Kenyon Avenue.

The room is approximately 51’ x 30’ with 15’ ceilings. Maximum audience capacity is 150 with a max seated audience of 120. Kenyon Hall’s stage is 15’ x 14’—big enough to fit a six-piece ensemble.

Kenyon Hall’s kitchen and concessions area includes stove/oven/hood combo, refrigerator, popcorn machine, Keurig coffee maker, 3-compartment sink, microwave, with under sink cleaning supplies as well as brooms and mop.

Acoustics are reverberant. The room sounds wonderful for most unamplified music, DJs, and small amplified ensembles. A curtain behind the stage can be closed to control some sound.

Please note there are no stage wings or backstage areas to build or store sets. There is a semi-private dressing room on the second level with limited seating and clothing racks.

Rentals include use of the building, kitchen and kitchen utilities, bathrooms, tables and chairs, lights, and sound system and equipment. Renter will be responsible for setting and striking any tables and/or chairs used for their event.

The Wurlitzer is NOT FOR USE unless written consent is given by Seattle Artists. Permission will not be unreasonably denied for players with theater organ experience. Renter is responsible for sufficient care of entire instrument; keyboard, percussion, pipes and assumes cost of all damages when operating at Kenyon Hall.

The sound system is permanently installed and operated from sidestage. Under no circumstances should things be unplugged without a Hall manager present. Equipment includes:

• Speakers: (2) Harbinger VARI V4115 15" powered loudspeakers. These speakers shall remain plugged into mixer in “15 & 16 OUT” channels

• Mixers: Behringer X32

• Microphones: (2) Ultravoice XM8500 vocal/instrument mics, four Shure SM 57 cardioid instrument mics, (5) Shure SM 58 cardioid vocal or instrument mics, (1) Shure 52A bass drum mic

• Miscellaneous: (6) regular boom stands, (1) short boom stand; (3) mono and (1) stereo DI boxes; XLR cables, 1/4” instrument cables, 1/8” audio cables and adapters, 24-channel snake, BenQ TH575 projector, HDMI to cat6 extensions, AC extension cords, power strips, etc.

If you plan to use our sound system, we prefer that you hire one of our approved audio technicians. Their fees vary depending on the individual and the complexity of your event, but the average fee is about $150 per night. You contract with them directly, and we do not take a cut of their fee. While this adds some extra expense, it saves you the potential cost of having to replace or repair equipment that is damaged during your event; if our technician breaks something, you are not responsible. If you prefer to hire someone who is not on our tech list, they will need to come in a week or two before your show for a walk-through of the system.

PIANO: Steinway Model M. If you want the piano tuned, it is your responsibility to coordinate with our Operations Director and pay for that. You can hire your own tuner, or we can recommend one.

MUSIC STANDS: We usually have about 4-5 Manhassett music stands (they come and go), but no stand lights.

LIGHTING: Hall has dimmable wall sconces and two stages of dimmable overhead lighting. Stage Lights are a series (both Front and Back) Chauvet DJ EVE P-160 RGBW. Controlled via Mac Desktop and LightKey. Our lighting plot is set to a standard stage wash that works well for most shows. Renters may not make changes to our standard lighting plot, but can choose from color presets provided.

Instruments: Yamaha digital keyboards.

INTERNET: Quantum Fiber throughout hall, accessible via ethernet or wifi. This makes live streaming possible, but client will need to provide streaming source (laptop, computer)

Any public rental (e.g., fundraiser, convention, etc.) is a self-presenting situation. Renter will assume responsibility for promotion, running lights, sound, and box office, set up, clean up, and any staffing needs. An on-duty caretaker will open and close the Hall, but there will be no staff to assist you with running your event.

Kenyon Hall can be rented for an hourly rate with a requested four-hour minimum. A refundable deposit of $100.00, due upon signing rental agreement, is required to secure rental. Until the signed agreement and deposit are received, the date is only considered “Held.”
