This venue needed more than just a stage; it needed a showstopper

“The Audley Recreation Centre had specific requirements for flexibility and performance, so we custom-designed the stage to integrate seamlessly into the space.

Designed to Disappear. Built to Perform.

A Showstopping Stage at Audley Recreation Centre

At first glance, Audley’s retractable stage is barely noticeable, seamlessly housed within its custom-designed surface-mount niche.

Sheridan Seating’s retractable stages are designed to disappear effortlessly when not in use, blending into the space with sleek finishes that complement the room’s design.

But from the moment it’s needed, this stage delivers a showstopping platform that’s as elegant as it is functional. With its premium luxury finishes and clean lines, the stage provides the perfect backdrop for any presentation, performance or celebration.

Performance Made Effortless

Smooth, Sturdy, Accessible Design

Flexibility has never been so easy. The Audley Recreation Centre’s stage is operation with a simple push of a button, making it quick and effortless for staff to set up and take down – no heavy lifting required.

Behind the scenes, Sheridan Seating’s stages are engineered for performance. The sturdy under structure ensures stability and safety, while the electric winch assembly – complete with high-performance motor – delivers a smooth, seamless transition every time.

Along with style and functionality, accessibility is also a priority. As with all of Sheridan Seating’s retractable stages, Audley’s stage features ADA-compliant removable railings and steps, ensuring every event at Audley is inclusive and safe for all.
