The Bearsville Theater, with strong acoustics, ornate decoration and good ‘bones’ is regularly used by national and international musicians to rehearse or prepare for a tour, often with a public performance to trial new materials before heading out.

The high-ceilinged Utopia Sound Stage was built in the 1980’s for Todd Rundgren’s pioneering music video work. It was created as a perfect black box for audio recording, photography, and videography work. Today, the Flymax Recording Studio operates the Sound Stage and adjacent iso rooms and control booth.
