The Casbah edit
The Casbah is a smaller stage located against the southern wall of the building closer to the bar. The Casbah is used several nights a week for smaller, local and regional shows as well as dance parties and club events. Typical bills have 3-4 bands, with doors at 7, show at 8. The Casbah sports the main room's old FOH sound board, and a recently updated monitor system. There is now a dedicated, but limited lighting system, including club lighting on the floor. Past performers of the Casbah include Mojo Nixon, The Dismemberment Plan, My Chemical Romance, Our Lady Peace, and others.
Other performance spaces edit
In addition to the two stages, shows are performed outdoors in the parking lot and, previously, in a shed that has since been demolished.
