Stage productions are no problem at the Redford. Our full-size stage is equipped with a state-of-the-art dimmer system to operate a full assortment of stage lighting, large fly space and a 4 story dressing room tower.
The Redford Theatre is fully equipped for film presentations. From the booth, which is equipped with those marvelous Norelco Todd-AO projectors and Dolby CP-750 Allowing for Digital and Film Decoding sound processor, to the stage with its 40 foot wide projection screen and enough speakers to handle 6 discrete channels of sound, we are ready to provide the ultimate in film exhibition.
Video presentations show brilliantly on either our regular projection screen or, for extra impact, on our auxiliary high gain silver screen. Two digital projectors (4,100 Lumen HD and 18,500 Lumen 2K Cinema) are available at an additional rental cost.
Various areas inside the theatre are ideal for media production. Our experienced volunteer stage staff can assist in completing your production on time.
An option in any rental is the opportunity to make use of the superbly maintained theatre pipe organ manufactured by the Bartola Music Company in 1927 specifically for installation in the Redford Theatre. Several of our members are accomplished keyboard artists and can provide a variety of musical stylings.
The lobby areas of the theatre can be used in a variety of ways. The completely restored three story inner lobby adds just the right touch of elegance to any activity.
Parking is available on the two large free lots on the theatre property.
Are you looking for a permanent space to rent? From time to time the stores along the front of the building or office space above the theatre becomes available.
