Facilities
Want a special place to perform, design or simply see theatre? The Kruidenier Center for Theatre houses two flexible space theatres which give students and audience members a variety of ways to interact. One production may have arena staging, the next three-quarter round and a third in something completely different. This flexibility creates a wonderful teaching space preparing both actors and technicians for the myriad ways they may encounter theatre later in their careers.
The main stage theatre seats approximately 200 audience members and has a full rigging system, up-to-date light board and sound system. The Mr. B studio theatre seats 50 and it too is fully equipped for both production and acting classes.
The Kruidenier Center has good support spaces and equipment also. Scene and costume shops give students plenty of experience backstage. The makeup area, dressing rooms and green room are all adjacent so there is plenty of buzz before a performance.
The classroom is media savvy with a projection system and computers for research and computer assisted drafting for design classes. A smaller seminar room provides a cozy space for discussion classes.
