Theatre Momentum Studio

TM has opened our new rehearsal studio at the Cornelia Arts Building (1800 W. Cornelia Ave). We have three studios available for rent at the cheapest rates in Chicago: Just $10/hour.

 

New space coming in July! TM has just signed a lease on a third rehearsal studio in the Cornelia Arts Building. Our new space will open July 8th, and the schedule for this space is fairly open. It's a large, 750 square-foot studio which we may eventually divide into two spaces. So, that opens up a whole new calendar of availability. See the Studio C calendar, below, for the availability.
 

FREE Space for you!

Theatre Momentum is looking for interns to help keep up the studios, help with the build-out, and generally help out with TM's operations. If you'd like to intern, you can get free space for your group to rehearse at the TM Studio, and/or free passes to TM's Perpetual Motion Workshop series. Email info@theatremomentum.com for more details.

 

 

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 three studios, A, B, and C. Studio A is 350 square feet- good for for 10-12 performers; B is 450 square feet, good for up to 20 people; 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 two 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.

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, 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 laminate tile, nothing like a sprung wood floor or anything, so keep that in mind.
