Katie Murphy Amphitheatre

Katie Murphy Amphitheatre is a presentation and performance space at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Located within the Fred P. Pomerantz Art and Design Center, it has fixed theater seating for up to 270 people and a stage suitable for talks, panel discussions, presentations and graduation-related events. The facility also includes a lower lobby that can be arranged for receptions or other supporting activities.

Technical features include projection equipment, microphones, stage lighting and a backstage dressing area. Those details matter to organizations planning a conference or lecture, because event production may require venue technicians, security and other staffing in addition to the room rental. The visitor entrance is at 300 Seventh Avenue near West 27th Street. Organizations interested in booking should discuss accessibility, seating, equipment, insurance and catering requirements before confirming an event. The official FIT amphitheatre rental guide provides the floor plan, capacity and reservation information.
