What's
Here?
The Stanza is an intimate space for workshops, readings, meetings, and performances. Audiences are limited to ~12 seats, and standing only room can hold 15-20 people. In addition to the stage area, there is a large whiteboard for instruction and classes.
​
As a strong believer in using media to bring poetry to the world, diVERSES has equipped the Stanza with a stage microphone and speaker, a two-camera setup and recording microphones, and lighting. The room can also serve as a podcast studio when the record store next door, The Kutt, is closed (typically Mondays, Tuesdays, before 12PM weekdays, and some evenings after 7PM).
​
The Stanza is also able to livestream and host webinars for up to 250 virtual attendees, complete with registration forms.​
