Charter Oak is the ideal place for meetings, receptions, parties, performances, private functions, lectures, bar & bat mitzvahs and much more.
Sanctuary

The Sanctuary space is historic and beautiful, rich with history and framed with stained glass. Large and accessible, it is ideal for nearly any kind of function. From private family parties to huge eclectic music performances, the Sanctuary guarantees a memorable event.
This grand room has a stage area, dance floor and pew seating for approximately 150 people. The stage area is 1200 sq. ft (roughly 24’ x 53’) and our Bimah (small raised area behind the stage) is 240 sq. ft. (roughly 10’x20’).
Our Bose sound system works with the natural acoustics in the space to create a fantastic live sound. The professional lighting equipment and projector offer a variety of performance options.
Gallery

The gallery is a bright and open space ideal for viewing art or hosting an intimate gathering.
Chairs and tables can be set up as needed, seating about 50 comfortably, with standing room for approximately 75. The room is 910 sq. ft. Rough measurements are 26’ x 35’. The room contains a stereo system, access to a TV with VCR/DVD and a projector.
We are pleased to offer our highest recommendations to the Charter Oak Cultural Center, Hartford as an extraodinary and very special performance venue. The spirit of the ancient synagogue pervades the intimate yet expansive space, the acoustics are amazing, the staff is efficient, professional, and hospitable. We hope for and look forward to the opportunity to bring our show back to this wonderful space.
