Studio Theatre

STUDIO THEATRE

The Studio Theatre is an intimate 90-seat black box stage. Serving as both a production/rehearsal space and a classroom, the Studio Theatre is flexible enough to serve a variety of functions. The moveable audience platforms give designers and directors flexibility in staging a play , while the extra wide, cushioned seats allow for viewing comfort. A Proscenium arrangement reduces the audience capacity to approximately 65, whereas the Arena setting can comfortably accommodate 90 guests. Studio Theatre productions are an important part of the Drama Program’s subscription season as well as an important venue for Drama Club shows and events.
