Shelter VG4, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Shelter VG4 consists of Shelter Theater, Cafe VG4, The Space and Cha Lounge.
Shelter Theater seats 56 but we've had as many as about 75 people in for some popular events with no complaints. We can drop the front stage extension to put in an additional 8 seats and folks don't seem to mind sitting on bar stools beneath 'the atom' or on the stairs. It's a casual place and we attract a tolerant crowd.
We have 5.1 surround sound, a nice projector for videos and a very large screen--the largest in use in downtown San Miguel I believe. Our stage is small but performers like it and the theater with its excellent acoustics.
We have strip lights above the stage, spots and fresnels on a light bar above the balcony, controlled by a 'booth' beneath the stairs where all light boards, DVD players, amps, etc are located. It is one of the most professional theaters in San Miguel, despite its intimate size.
Cafe VG4 is a meeting place where visitors gather for drinks and snacks before going in to see their show. We have a small fridge behind the bar, microwave and a capucchino machine. The 'hang-out room' is a small room with sofas next to Cafe VG4, again where guests can chat and wait for their function to begin.
On the second floor, we have 'the Space', a large wood-floored rehearsal/classroom space very popular for yoga, dance and other movement activities. A bathroom with shower and drawers allow students to clean up after their workout.
Next to 'the Space' is 'Cha Lounge' which is in development and will offer guests a place to discuss the show they saw downstairs while enjoying drinks and high-end snacks. A lovely view of the downtown historical center is an added attraction.
A side door ('8½') to 'the Space' and 'Cha Lounge' ensures that visitors may go directly to those destinations without interrupting any theater activity.
On the third and fourth floors are the apartments, 'Vista VG4' and 'Studio VG4' respectively, reached by a private elevator from outside Cha Lounge.
Rental of the facilities in done by floor.
