A true teaching facility in every way, this Performing Arts Center has a main stage purposely equipped with both motorized and manual rigging systems. The dramatic 420 seat multifunction theatre this stage serves also has traps, state-of-the-art sound, scene, and lighting systems and a large orchestra pit. Finishing out the facility are a 2,600 square foot “Black Box” experimental theatre, scene shop, costume shop, dressing and make-up areas, instructional/rehearsal classrooms, and offices for faculty and administration.
The bold exterior design of the Performing Arts Center reflects a Gothic Revival style reminiscent of historic campus buildings.
