Performance Spaces

Lane Community College's Performing Arts Department is proud to exhibit two state-of-the-art performance spaces, the Ed Ragozzino Performance Hall and the Blue Door Theater.

Studio 136:

Studio 136 is a state-of-the-art dance space featuring 17-foot wood-beamed ceilings, a full-length mirrored wall, a piano, an electronic sound system, and a sprung Marley floor equipped with both fixed and movable ballet barres. Natural light floods the room through floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the campus’s scenic hillside. To seamlessly blend theory with practice, the perimeter is equipped with a dry-erase board and a "smart classroom" screen, allowing technique and choreography classes to engage in lecture and academic discourse that enriches the physical dance process.

Ragozzino Performance Hall

This proscenium-style theater seats 495, and hosts countless events annually.

The college reserves the right to accept or reject any request for use of a college facility and to impose additional requirements after reviewing the request of an organization. Decisions regarding the approval and scheduling of facility requests by the department may include, but are not limited to, these considerations: 

  • Availability of the facility without interference with department use and activities. 

  • Quality of the content and appropriateness of the performance to the mission, vision and core values of the college and the Performing Arts department.

Please contact Emily Bolivar, Technical Production Coordinator, before you complete or submit any forms.

  • Performance date: $800 

    • If multiple performances are done in one day, the fee is the same. One half of this fee goes to the producing program (Music, Dance, or Theatre depending on the type of production) to help with scholarships and other opportunities for LCC students. 

  • Non-ticketed performance date: $400 

  • Rehearsal date: $200 

  • Equipment Use: $100 for the first day + $50 for each additional day. 

    • This covers the use of basic equipment and services. Please see Equipment Rental Fees for extra equipment used beyond the Standard Set-up.

  •  LCC’s Production Supervisor must be present for all set-ups, rehearsals and performances involving the use of the college’s technical equipment and machinery.
  • The producing group must provide all their own crew (stage, fly system, costume, technical, stage managers, sound and light board operator). The Production Supervisor may be used in place of any one of the above crew positions.
  • Producing groups are highly encouraged to bring their own stage managers. A production’s success relies on a single person who knows the show and can oversee its smooth operation without distraction. It is best if the stage manager can control the show from the lighting booth behind the audience, knowing all sound, light and fly cues.
  • Glitter is very difficult to clean up. For the sake of those in your group needing to clean it up and for the benefit of the facilities, please keep its use to a minimum.
  • Producing companies will provide their own publicity including posters, ads, press releases and so on. All publicity by the producing group must include a phone number other than LCC where information and tickets are found.
  • The producing group assumes liability for any member of their company or their company’s production crew.
  • Standing room does not exist in the auditorium. No one is permitted to stand or sit in the aisles so as to impede evacuation or the smooth flow of patrons entering or exiting the auditorium.
  • The LCC campus and facilities close at 11pm, everyone must be out of the building and the parking lot by 11pm.
  • The designated wheelchair areas of the auditorium must be left open. No chairs may be placed in those areas.
  • All audio and video must be delivered as media files to be loaded onto a computer for operation. Links to internet sites will not be accepted.
  • All lighting and set designs must be pre-approved.
  • Groups are required to leave spaces clean in all areas used by the group or their audience. This can be done by the group themselves or by paying a custodial fee to have it done.
  • The Blue Door Theatre (BD) is available for use only as a bonus and only if it is not needed by LCC classes. Please be aware that other plans may need to be made if it is not available.
