How is the Sanctuary arranged?
The Sanctuary divides into 780 main-floor seats and a 482-seat balcony, totaling 1,262 places. The stage sits beneath the Love Window and accommodates a Steinway piano and Skinner pipe organ, though not every concert or program will use these instruments. A projector, screen and audio system are installed to support multimedia presentations.
Because the Sanctuary is one room inside a broader community center, you may encounter other groups or activities in adjacent spaces. Double-check your ticket or event confirmation to confirm which room hosts your performance; ordinary building access does not grant admission to a ticketed show.
When should I arrive?
Published office hours run Monday through Thursday from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, but these administrative windows do not dictate event start times. The building's general operating schedule lists Monday to Saturday 10 am to 9 pm and Sunday 8:30 am to 1:30 pm; your specific event may set different door and curtain times, so consult your ticket or the organizer's announcement.
Unity Temple sits at the intersection of 47th Street and Jefferson. Use the door time supplied for your program, allowing time to find the correct room before the performance begins.
Where do I park?
Use 707 W 47th Street at Jefferson when asking the venue or organizer for parking directions. Contact the main office at 816-561-4466 about parking for your performance and the entrance serving its room. Do not use the address or parking instructions of another Unity church.
What accessibility features are available?
Discuss access needs with the venue before purchasing. Specify the Sanctuary, main floor or balcony when asking about a step-free route, seating position and companion arrangements. The main office can be reached at 816-561-4466; provide the date and organizer so staff can address the correct booking.
