The Foundry
A converted 1920s ironworks two blocks from the river — exposed steel, real acoustics, and a green room that used to be a boiler house.
400 seats, one stage, no obstructed views
The hall was built for machinery, not spectators — which is why the sightlines are better than most theaters. Every seat sees the full stage and screen.
