BOOK THE FRUIT
​The Fruit is a warehouse complex that comprises 22,000sf, much of which is available for use for performance, gallery shows, installation art, dinners, parties, receptions and dances. We left the space raw, which when lit property is warm and inviting. Or you can dress it up with fabrics and more unique lighting. Reclaimed accents hint to the building’s past and provide a visually interesting backdrop for events. The space is malleable to your creative vision. Please read this page and fill out the inquiry form below.

The theater side can seat up to 300 or hold 500-600 for a standing dance party. There's room for a five-station bar. Modern dance and drama seating depends on configuration. The Fruit team can build staging and risers to suit your needs, and we also have a sprung floor and marley covering for modern dance.

The "flex space" has held 200 people for a seated dinner and 600 folks for dance parties. Acoustics are well suited for electronic music and the vibe is loved for the feel of an underground Berlin techno dance.

Smaller gatherings (political fundraisers, holiday parties) can be hosted in the gallery area; we curtain-off the other parts of the flex space to provide an intimate feel. The basement has gallery walls and a separate entrance, comprising about 1800sf, it can hold up to 200 attendees if you don't mind rubbing shoulders. Access to the basement requires navigating stairs.

All areas of the building have state of the art sound and bar service. The theater also has LED stage lighting. The Fruit maintains full mixed beverage, beer and wine permits. We adore making signature cocktails for your event.

Pricing is based on several factors. We need to know how many spaces you want, how long, and how much privacy suits your vibe. We'll work this out in conversation with you. We also factor in bar sales. We don't dictate your caterers nor take a cut. Even if you want to keep the whole building to yourself for the night, you'll find us more affordable than local hotels and wedding mills. In all things, we care about you, and we aim to have a lot of fun.
