Theater
Warren Enters Theatre
The Warren Enters Theatre, a 400-seat proscenium theatre, is the primary performance space for the mainstage theater season. The theater and support spaces were completely renovated in 2003 at a cost of $2.4 million. Included were a new counterweight system, control booth, audience seating, and state-of-the-art lighting and sound equipment. Adjacent to the theatre are fully equipped scene and costume shops, a box office, paint-spray booth, dressing rooms, and rehearsal studio.
Flexible Theatre
The Flexible Theatre in the Donald Savage building was renovated in 1992. It doubles as a studio space for acting classes and a "black box" theatre. Movable risers and seating allows the space to be reconfigured as needed. It is equipped with a full inventory of lighting equipment (including 124 dimmers) and a digital sound system. Support spaces include a control booth, dressing rooms, wardrobe maintenance room, and storage rooms. This space is used for informal department events, as well mainstage productions requiring the flexibility and intimacy of a smaller space. Additionally, here students have the opportunity to explore a variety of performance experiences from staged readings to improvisational games.
