Room Reservation Policy FAQ

TDPS reserves three spaces at 220 York Street.  The Ballroom (Rm 101), The Chapter Room (Rm 201), and The Seminar Room (Rm 202). The links below will take you to Google Calendars for each space, where you can see their room availability.

TDPS Spaces (Ballroom, Chapter Room, and Seminar Room) are prioritized for Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies classes, curricular productions, and programming. All room reservation requests should be emailed to Alana Conti and include the following information:

  • Day/Date
  • Time
    • Keep in mind we will automatically add a 15-minute break between reservation times. EX. If a reservation ends at 6:00 pm, the next group cannot reserve the space before 6:15 pm.
  • Room
  • Reason (curricular rehearsal, club meeting, etc.). Please make sure to note if you are the curricular project on deck.
  • 1-2 NetIDs to have access to the room (please mention if you already have access and if you are a TDPS declared student).

Curricular projects (TDPS Production Season shows) on deck take priority. We expect curricular productions on deck to plan their rehearsal schedules two weeks in advance so other curricular projects or Yale groups can reserve time weekly.

Please note that all reservations are subject to change.
