Theatre Momentum Studio

TM has four rehearsal studios in the Cornelia Arts Building (1800 W. Cornelia Ave), and they are available for rent at the cheapest rates in Chicago: Just $10/hour.

 

Even cheaper daytime space for you!

Theatre Momentum is dropping our daytime weekday rates to $8/hr! All rentals that end weekdays (Mon-Fri) before 5 PM will be just $8/hr.

 

 

 

 

If you're looking for an inexpensive, clean, public-transit accessible, free parking venue for your next rehearsal or class, this is the place.

The TM Studio is located in the Cornelia Arts Building, at 1800 West Cornelia.

That's two and a half blocks north of the Paulina Brown Line stop and two blocks south of the Addison Brown Line stop. There is free parking in front of the building for 8 cars.

We have four studios, A, B, C, and D (opening October 2011). Studios A and D are 350 square feet- good for up to 10-12 performers; B is 450 square feet, good for up to 20 people; and C is 750 square feet- good for up to 40 people (the space is two levels, around 500 and 250 square feet). What are you waiting for?

If you'd like to know when the space is available, please check out our calendars below.

If you need to see the monthly calendar, you can change the view in the upper-right corner of any of the calendars. It does not have as much detail as the weekly view, though.

Frequently asked questions:
 

What is your availability on ___ date?
Feel free to look through our calendar, above, before emailing us about rental availability. The calendar is updated before any reservation is complete, so if it's not listed on the schedule, it's very likely available.

Do certain renters get priority in the schedule?
Yes. Long-term renters (those blocking out 3 months or longer) get priority over everyone else. Beyond that, it's all first-come, first-served.

Do you have daytime weekday availability?
Yes! We have tons. Most of our renters are daytimes on the weekends and evenings during the week, so the weekday daytimes are usually very open.

Is music allowed?
As there are four spaces and other people in the building, we try to keep the noise level to a minimum. We request that no bands or musicals rehearse in our space, so as to not disturb other renters or other residents in the building. The only exception would be Studio C, which is separate from the other three spaces.

Can I rent your space out for other events aside from rehearsals?
Yes, of course. You cannot rent it for performances, as we do not have the proper licenses for that, but if you have, for instance, a yoga class or an art class or art opening you'd like to host there, or would like to use it to build props for your show, you are welcome to rent from us. No parties, though, sorry.

 

I host a dance group or a yoga class. Can we use your studio?

You are welcome to use the studio, but we must warn you, the floors are just painted wood, nothing like a sprung wood floor or anything, so keep that in mind.
