Load-in Facilities

Greenberg Theatre's loading dock is located on the west side of the building above the main building loading dock. Due to limitations of size and location, it is considered more of a materials loading entrance than a workable load-in site. Load-in for scenery will generally take place through the building loading dock and service elevator. There are size limitations (see dimensions below). Oversize items may require street loading from Wisconsin Ave. NW, which requires advance notice. Harold and Sylvia Greenberg Theatre is in no way responsible for obtaining the requisite permits for blocking traffic on this street but may withhold access if client fails to obtain. Boxes may be no longer than 60" @ 36" W (variables may work, call).

Service Elevator Dimensions: door opening 41.5" wide x 83.5" tall, interior 56" deep x 78.5" wide x 102.5" tall
Loading Dock height: 18' above ground
Loading Dock Door opening: 5'H x 7'W
Loading Dock access: via yard arm with ½ ton electric motor and 6' spreader bar; lifting speed 30ft/minute
