Renting the Space
Renting the Space
The Ginkgo Center can be rented for rehearsals, practices, classes, events, and performances.
Standard rental starts at $18 an hour for a practice or rehearsal. The price is higher if the space is rented for a class that collects money form students, and less for those interested in a recurring rental.
Performance rates are determined by the number of shows and the number of days of the performance. We require insurance for all shows performed at the Ginkgo.
Please reach out to us! You'll be put in contact with our managers of Space and Time to coordinate the space to your needs.
