Mr. Smalls Funhouse, Millvale, PA

With it’s expansion into the 45,000 square foot St. Ann's church
compound, andriverfront property in Millvale, PA, Mr. Smalls Funhouse has grown into an unprecedented creative complex. A complex that houses a live concert venue (650-person capacity), banquet space, two state-of-the-art recording studios, offices, several studio & two-bedroomlive/work spaces for artists, art gallery, and an expansive skate park.

In just three years, all of this has been realized by an extremely
dedicated staff. The Borough of Millvale was instrumental in making it possible to acquire the Mr. Smalls Funhouse property and has supported the organization’s efforts in any way possible, as it is their belief that the existence and success of this facility marks a significant evolution in the cultural and professional scope of Millvale.

Mr. Smalls Funhouse has to date been providing its services in
the vision of CLS and will continue to host CLS activities with
considerable in-kind donations of facilities and resources.
