Envisioned as a classic “little theater,” the theater provides an intimate experience where actors and audience are not separated by stage and proscenium. The 125-seat theater with its well-designed acoustics, lighting and sound systems, is suitable for soloists, an orchestra, a speaker or a dramatic arts performance. The naturally lit and acoustically tuned music classroom also serves as a “green room” for the little theater.

The building forms, materials and colors are a reference to the site’s former use - a board-and-batten barn built in the late 1800’s. Serving as a gathering place, the facility’s courtyard provides important points of entry for the daily arrival of students from the north and community members from the south.
