Questions

Before You Book

How many people does the auditorium seat?
100+ fixed theater seats, all facing the screen. Seating is fixed, with seated capacity just over 100 — the room is built for presentations, not receptions.
What AV is in the room?
The room is built around a 146-inch screen that every seat faces. Tell us what your event needs — presentation, screening, recording — and we'll walk you through the setup during your site visit.
Is there parking?
Yes — 40+ covered parking spaces under solar canopies on site, plus the auditorium's own private entrance directly on Robinson Avenue.
Is catering allowed?
Catering is coordinated case by case — ask when you book and we'll work through the details. The room itself is fixed theater seating, so food service is typically staged outside the auditorium.
How do I book it?
Call or text Aaron Diehl at 405.651.3308, or send the form below with your event date. Aaron will follow up within one business day.
Can I book recurring dates?
Recurring dates — a weekly service, a training series, a standing all-hands — can be discussed. Reach out with your schedule and Aaron will confirm what's available.

Catering & Alcohol

Catering is welcome through caterers approved by the building and licensed by the State of Oklahoma and Oklahoma County. No open-flame or exposed-element cooking equipment inside the room.

Alcohol is served only with the building’s prior written approval, by an ABLE-licensed caterer or under an ABLE event license, with liquor liability coverage in place. The building does not sell or serve alcohol.

A Historic Building

Nothing may be attached to walls, ceilings, seating, or finishes — no tape, nails, adhesives, confetti, glitter, or fog machines. Freestanding signage and décor are welcome with prior approval and come out with you at load-out.

Insurance

A certificate of liability insurance naming the building owner is required before the event; the license agreement sets the coverage and the deadline. Caterers and vendors you bring on site are held to the same requirement.
