Views of the stage in the Chaminade Hall Auditorium
Information on accessing the venue:
At St. Leonard Franciscan Living Community, in the Chaminade Hall Auditorium under the Chapel. Where is it? It is #3 on this property map. The BEST way to find the Auditorium quickly is to come onto the St. Leo’s property from Clyo Rd as you can see the Bell Tower VERY easily from there. Head for it!
This is a picture of the Bell Tower entrance is where you will park and come down the side walk that runs along the Bell Tower to enter the Auditorium directly. There is a small stairway at the end of the side walk that goes down into the Auditorium. We will have signs in the grass near this entrance so you can locate it !!
Use this entrance to avoid stairs. There is some limited parking at this entrance and it winds through the buildings. Follow hanging signs in the hallways to lead you to the “Auditorium” if you need to use this entrance.
To get to the Franciscan Center for the dance class:
From Centerville Station Road:
Turn onto Provincial Way. Go through Stop Sign and the building is straight ahead on the right. It is also the building that has the Station House Restaurant in it so you can follow the St. Leonard’s signs that lead to the Franciscan Center or the Station House Restaurant – same building. Park in front lot, in front of main entrance.
