What to expect
Planning a visit to Sanctuary Hall at First Congregational Church
Choose Sanctuary Hall for an early-music program in an active historic church rather than a purpose-built theater. Confirm the program, main-floor or balcony seat, run time, admission terms, and accessibility arrangements on the event page, then review the presenter's Park Street entrance, elevator, restroom, stair, and downtown parking guidance before arrival.
