The Godfrey Kerr Theater Studio includes a performance area the same size and configuration as the stage in the Berlind Theatre at McCarter Theater Center to serve as rehearsal space for shows that will be presented on the Berlind stage. The asymmetrical space has a curved wall on one side and a tiered ceiling and is used for large classes and workshops. The studio features a system of pipe hangers and strong points for temporary overhead rigging of theatrical equipment. There is a Boston Upright Piano and a fixed sound plot for audio and video playback, but no permanent theatrical lighting system or infrastructure in this studio.
