It is an acoustically beautiful, air-conditioned concert hall used both as a theater space and a multi-purpose facility. Chapin Auditorium is the largest indoor performance facility at Mount Holyoke College. It can accommodate an audience of approximately 1128 seated patrons, or up to 1350 with an “Open Floor” on the orchestra level (no chairs). Originally built in 1916 in the Music Hall tradition, Chapin has a Proscenium stage, (26’ deep and 29’ wide) that is three feet higher than house floor (64’ deep and 66’wide, with no orchestra pit). Two balconies offer some permanent seating (First Balcony: 385, Second balcony: 154), while orchestra level (non-raked) seating is moveable(max. 589). Moderate Space in the Lobby of Mary Woolley Hall is available for Box Office Set-up and Merchandise tabling. The stage is equipped with a theatrical lighting inventory and a quality sound system for public address and other miscellaneous applications (generally not sufficient for most full concert productions, approved professional contractors are hired to provide larger sound rigs).
