With one of the tallest buildings – and most spectacular views – in town, the Hugh’s View rooftop terrace serves as The Studios’ creative space in the sky. The terrace sits four stories above street level and offers panoramic views of the island. The Kitwald Stage glows in the golden twilight of our sunset Old Town New Folk performances.
With original seating from its days as a Masonic temple, the Helmerich Theater has been updated to also include floor seating. As a black box theater, the set up is intimate but professional. The Old Town New Folk backdrop and set, created by Rick Worth, fill the room with a charming vibe and set the stage for concerts that leave guests feeling like they really got to know the performer.
