BOOKING
Rental accounts are kept under one main account holder's name (that's you, the Renter!), not a company. Renters are not permitted to share keys or accounts and agree to be present for all bookings confirmed under the account holder’s name.
All renters are asked to set up an account via our online booking system. This can be done after you have booked space. Get more details on how to set up your account here.
Our online booking system is for rehearsal rentals only. For media production, virtual or in-person classes, open rehearsals, auditions, table reads, or special events, please email us directly with intended use for the space at rental@triskelionarts.org. Triskelion Arts will then review your request, and if approved, we will work with you directly via email to confirm your booking based on availability. Please note: rehearsal rates vary from the rates available for media production, virtual or in-person classes, auditions, table reads, or special events and are subject to change based on the intended use of the renter.
If there is an access need or a school-aged child attending a rehearsal booking that prohibits the use of the upstairs studios, the ground floor theater studio is available as an alternative option at the reduced rate of $10/hour. Please email us directly so our staff can assist in applying this rate to the rehearsal booking.
Bookings are made via our online system. FAQ here.
Our building is keyed entry. Don’t forget your keys! If you neglect to bring keys to a booking or fail to contact Triskelion Arts to set up a key pickup, payment of bookings is still required.

Renters will forfeit the full cost of the rental of any late cancellations or no-shows bookings.
