The KiMo Theater was constructed without a Green Room, shop space, scenery storage areas or space you can use as a Production Office. The stage area is only partially renovated and has no fly system. There is no stage/wing space for scenery. All in-house stage curtains are dead-hung and cannot be easily relocated.

There are 4 lighting trusses on chain motors and 1 scenery truss for a backdrop (24-25ft. hi Max.). There is a gross load limit of 1000 lbs. for each truss, but due to structural concerns this does not equal a combined gross load limit of 5,000 pounds. Please inquire.

Additional on-stage electrical service is listed in the Stage Equipment section.

We have 5 dressing rooms for a maximum of 40 persons. Two of the dressing rooms are suitable for 5 persons (or less) and one dressing room is suitable for 1 or 2 persons. The two larger dressing rooms (1 @ 8/10 and 1 @ 15/20 persons) each have a shower. There is a 2-way intercom system for the Stage Manager & dressing rooms.

There is an 8 ft. deep Orchestra Pit suitable for approximately 25 musicians. The front 7 feet of the stage is a (manually removable) cover over the Pit. There is a limited amount of framing available to raise part of the pit floor.

Due to a lack of storage space the KiMo Theatre does not maintain any inventory of; scenery, props, furniture, costumes, backdrops, extra curtains, or band equipment (backline) for your event.

There is a smoke- and heat-sensing Fire Alarm System: onstage, backstage and in the dressing room areas of the KiMo. Some otherwise 'normal' conditions (fog machines, hair spray, ironing costumes, curling irons, etc.) may cause the unintended activation of this system. Evacuation of the building is mandatory until the cause is confirmed. This specifically includes DURING performances.

Tour buses or Production trucks can usually be parked in the traffic lane on 5th street. A Barricade Permit is required. Fees apply.  The KiMo has no electrical service (shore power) for these vehicles.

The KiMo Theatre does not provide any recording or broadcasting equipment.  Due to the placement, construction and various features of the building it is subject to sounds and other concerns that may interfere with recording.

There is wireless internet service available in the building.
